Recipe of Vegan marinated tofu fajitas
Vida Recetas Editorial
The vegan fajita with marinated tofu is a plant-based version of the classic Tex-Mex dish, perfect for those looking for a quick, healthy, and flavorful dinner. This recipe combines strips of tofu marinated in extra virgin olive oil and TexMex seasoning, with peppers, onion, and fresh lettuce, all wrapped in a flour tortilla. The 24-hour marinade (minimum 8 hours) intensifies the flavor and achieves a firm texture reminiscent of meat, ideal for vegans and also for those who want to reduce their meat consumption without sacrificing taste.
Why does this vegan fajita work?
Tofu provides plant-based protein, while the vegetable stir-fry adds fiber and vitamins. The touch of lemon and homemade fried tomato balances the spiciness of the seasoning, creating a flavor combination that appeals to everyone. It's a versatile option: you can adapt the vegetables according to the season or what you have on hand.
This recipe is ideal for weeknight dinners, family meals, or even for preparing in advance. The tortillas can be homemade (check my recipe collection) or store-bought, and the filling can be stored in the fridge.

To marinate tofu, it is advisable to leave it for 24 hours, although after 8 hours it would already take on flavor. We mix olive oil and TexMex seasoning. Cut the tofu into strips and mix with the previous preparation. Store in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator, turning 5-6 times during the marinating time.
