- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1/2 cup hot water

- 1 medium red onion
- 1/4 kilo of fresh firm tofu
- 1 Tbs honey
- 2 Tbs soy sauce
- 1 Tbs of tomato sauce
- 1/4 tsp of paprika powder
- 1/ 4 tsp of oregano
- 1/4 tsp of cumin
- 1/4 tsp of garlic powder

Preparation
For the Tortillas:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil and mix with a fork to obtain a mixture that looks like wet sand.
- Add the hot water and form a dough. Form a ball on a surface with a little flour and divide into smaller balls according to the desired size to form the tortillas (for small tortillas it serves 4 or 5).
- Let the balls rest for 30 minutes covered with a towel.
- With a rolling pin, expand each ball to form thin tortillas, and roast them on a hot, NOT greased pan. Cook for about a minute on each side until golden brown. “Pockets” of air will form and that is good.
For the Fajitas:
- Cut the tofu into slices approximately 1cm thick. In a container, mix all the ingredients except the vegetables to form a marinade where the tofu is going to be placed and let it take on the flavor of the marinating sauce for 30 minutes to an hour.
- In a pan with a little oil, brown the tofu along with half of the sauce where it was being marinated on both sides until golden brown.
- Take out the tofu and in the same pan (be careful not to burn what remains stuck, if so, rinse the pan).
- Grill the onion and bell peppers and add the rest of the sauce to brown them. Grill the vegetables for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they start to sweat but don't lose their crispness.
- Turn off the heat and add the tofu cut into strips. Serve along with the tortillas with cilantro sauce on top.
For the Cilantro Sauce:
- Mix all the ingredients.
