• 1 can (400g) Black beans
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, cut the tofu into thin strips.

Step 2

Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Thinly slice the red onion and zucchini.

Cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the tofu strips to the marinade and let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and sauté for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the tofu from the skillet and set aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Add the black beans and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the cooked tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to combine well.

Step 11

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish the sizzling fajita veggies with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy as a main dish or with tortillas for a more complete fajita experience.
