Ingredients

Spiced Tofu:

  • 16 oz firm to super firm tofu I use Nasoya pre-pressed tofu.
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tbsp oil

Mango Salsa:

  • 1 mango
  • 2 tbsp diced red onion
  • ¼ cup diced bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • juice of half of a one lime
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • quinoa or other grain of choice or cauliflower rice optional

Instructions

  • Prepare grain of choice according to package directions if using. Sub with cauliflower rice for a grain free option.
  • If you are using tofu that is in water, drain and place on a lint free towel. Place another towel on top and place something heavy on top to remove as much water as possible.
  • Peel and chop mango into small pieces and transfer to a bowl. Add bell pepper, onion, cilantro, maple syrup, lime juice and pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, stirring to thoroughly combine.
  • After tofu has been pressed, slice into ¾ to 1 inch thick slices. Place tofu in spice mix one at a time and coat.
  • Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, until slightly crisp. Flip and cook for 4-5 minutes longer.
  • Plate grain or rice and place tofu on top. Spoon mango salsa over tofu and serve immediately.
