Much of this week has featured Mexican themed eats, and I have just one more to share.
On the night of Cinco de Mayo, we once again had grilled tacos! This time they were fajita style, with grilled onion, bell pepper and marinated tofu.
I have a grill pan so it’s really easy to grill veggies without having to skewer them.
grilled fajita tofu tacos
1 block (extra firm) tofu
1/2 package fajita seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 yellow onion
1 red bell pepper
corn tortillas
toppings: guacamole and So Delicious coconut yogurt – trust me, that was good!
Combine olive oil, lime juice, seasoning in a baking dish or bowl. Cube tofu and add to marinade, coating completely. I covered and returned to fridge for an hour.
Skewer tofu and veggies or use grill pan. Grill on medium heat until cooked through with char marks.
We ate these with a simple salad topped with guacamole and more fajita veggies. Then saved room for coconut mango cobbler…
Our other Cinco de Mayo eats:
spicy black bean sweet potato enchiladas
what I bookmarked this week:
dachshund decor! … I have no words.
Heather’s fresh plum cake – how great does this look?
a hilarious look at fitness gimmicks – the ball bike photo!
Gena’s Back From Nature Salad – I will find that umeboshi vinegar!
forgetful elephant – I can relate. also a delicious recipe!
and this week’s best search term someone found my blog with?
“i love you mommy”
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms out there, including mine <3

Those tofu fajitas look amazing! I’m not a sweet potato lover, but my husband would love those mixed with black beans in the enchiladas.
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, we had Tex-Mex Tostadas for dinner on Thursday. Here’s my post: http://upfitcreek.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/cinco-de-my-oh-my/
YUM, your tostadas look delicious! …and I LOVE the Cinco de Mayo lesson and the fact that you will STILL celebrate.
it’s usually one or the other…
Look at how white those onions are! mmmm I just love your food. So deeeelicious! I think the potato enchiladas are my fav.
thank you, Leanne!
I’ve decided that I’m coming to your house next year for Cinco de Mayo!
awesome! that would be fun!
Love the idea of grilled tacos. I don’t use lime juice terribly often. Not sure why, bu I forget about that little green guy. I actually didn’t make anything Mexican style this week at all. Hope you’re having a great Saturday.
we love to grill and are SO excited the season is here. lots of grilling in the near future!
hope you’re having a great weekend, Heather!
Seriously, your blog posts lately are killing me!! This looks SO good too! I love the idea of grilling!! Might have to do that!!
Have a great weekend!! ps. I’m really enjoying all my treats!! I don’t really want them to end! hehe
oh, I hope it a good way!
we LOVE to grill in the warm months, we kinda live out on the deck (and in the pool) in the summertime… hope you’re having a FAB weekend too – glad you’re enjoying!!
So colorful and festive! I love guacamole served in a bell pepper
me too – when the guacamole is nearly gone you can eat the pepper… YUM.
Those tacos are making me salivate like a teenage boy at a yoga class!
And you seriously have a gazelle? Does it work? I have a “slap chop” which is on it’s last leg because I used it to death. Have you heard of the Hawaii chair? Google it and watch the commercial!
ha – the gazelle is um, FUN. the workout you see Tony do? eh, it’s not really a big workout. it’s under my bed right now, but when I DO use it, I do it differently and get a GREAT arm workout with it. the Hawaii Chair!! yes, I’ve seen that craziness. looks like fun, though, if I had a desk job!!
I have died and gone to Mexican food heaven! These dishes all look so incredibly yummy, thank you for sharing!
thanks, Jules!
we had a fun Cinco de Mayo WEEK around here…
Oh!!! Beautiful pictures, my dear! I am always so impressed by your yummy food and wonderful photography. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
thank you, Courtney!! you are so sweet to say so, and hearing it makes me happy!
hope your weekend is great too!
yummers! next year I’ll be coming over.
Happy siete de mayo! ha ha! since the 5th is past…
ha – thanks, Heidi!
hope you’re enjoying your Saturday too!
I really should have gone out and eaten Mexican this week, or made some like yours. I’m totally going to bookmark these recipes, they’re fabulous! The only remotely Mexican thing I did was make an avocado daiquiri haha. I had to work on the 5th anyway…
that daiquiri sounds amaaaaazing!! that’s a good celebration right there.
Again, your pics are totally stunning!
thank you, friend!!
I will find any excuse I can to keep festivities involving mexican food around… love it!
And I still miss my grill…
How come all the times I’ve tried tofu, it looked and tasted like a sponge?? Every time I see your tofu pics, I think I need to try it again! Yep, that’s progress!
I found the umeboshi vinegar at Whole Foods in the ethnic foods section. They had the actual plums in a pickling sauce, but the vinegar was with other jarred sauces.
This looks delish—maybe my favorite meal theme, and avocados always make me happy
I’ve never thought to make tofu into a fabulous fajita tacos! This looks amazing
Oh my gosh! I’ve totally had that asparagus cake saved in my photos for MONTHS! It’s amazing!!
Wow that cake is COOL!!!
I can’t WAIT to get my grill out of storage tonight!
Happy Mother’s Day to your mom!
That looks amazing. We had these quesadillas (http://ow.ly/4NuLk) for cinco de mayo and we made ours on the grill too. I never thought to use tofu for fajitas though, but that’s an awesome idea.
I wish Marshall liked fajitas–I am a huge fan and he is not. Maybe I will have to make some solo soon. Want to know something crazy?? I am eating sweet potato black bean enchiladas this very moment! They are leftover from Friday. It’s too funny that we are on the same wavelength.. first fish tacos then the enchiladas. I tried to click the link to see your post (somehow I missed that one?) but it took me to the guacamole.. and then reminded me how much I want to make guacamole and put it in a pepper! haha. I bought the stuff to make your coconut ice cream.. cannot wait
yum i’m obsessed with tacos right now…i think i’ve had it 4/7 days this week!
Everything looks so delicious!! Check out my Cinco de Mayo dinner: http://www.glutenlessfoodie.com/2011/05/coconut-crusted-shrimp-tacos-and-black.html
