Instructions

  1. To prepare salsa, combine all ingredients in a nonreactive container. Makes 1 cup.
  2. To prepare tortillas, heat oil in a nonreactive saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add tofu, onions and chili peppers; saute 1 minute. Tofu will break up a bit, don't worry, it's supposed to. Add tomato sauce, cumin, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Simmer 5 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Warm tortillas in dry skillet over medium heat. Or, for crisper tortillas, spray pan with no-stick cooking spray before adding tortillas.
  4. Place 2 tortillas on each of 2 plates. Spoon a portion of tofu mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese and pile with lettuce. Place a dollop of sour cream on top. Garnish with 2 tablespoons salsa per serving, reserving remaining ¾ salsa.
