Mexi-Tofu Bake

Submitted by: THOUGHTCRIME9

Introduction

I read about people taking fish and covering it with salsa and then throwing it in the oven. It sounded really tasty minus the fish, so I thought this simple dish up.

Ingredients

    Tofu - One Block EXTRA FIRM
    1c Salsa of your choice
    1/4c Nutritional Yeast (you can use more if you like)
    Crushed Tortilla chips or bread crumbs
    Non-stick oil of your choice

    1/4t Chili Powder
    1/4t Cumin
    Pinch of Cayenne (optional)
    Salt to taste
    I also use the Montreal Steak Seasoning on almost everything but that's up to you.

Directions

+Press Extra Firm tofu for as long as you can for up to two hours.

+Preheat oven to 375.

+Slice into six strips (easy for calorie counters). I like to cut it hamburger style but it's your choice.
+Coat casserole dish with non-stick oil.
+Set the tofu in a manner in which the salsa will be able to get in between the strips as well as on top of them.
+Sprinkle the tofu with the spices and a little over half of the Nutritional Yeast. I just make sure it's all evenly distributed.
+Now cover them with salsa, being careful to not knock all of the seasonings off.
+Now cover with the left over Nutritional Yeast and then the Chip Crumbs. This is usually where I throw salt on.
+Bake in the oven at 375 for 25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Sometimes I broil it for a few minutes at the end to speed up the process.

+Makes three servings...

  • Incredible!

    This was great! I made a few modifications - I added chopped mushrooms, green onions and garlic to the salsa. I didn't have chili powder or cayenne, so i just used paprika. and I couldn't find Nutritional Yeast, so I substituted shredded cheddar cheese. It was so yummy and will be making this again! - 10/4/09

    Wow! I almost decided to not make this. Tofu covered with salsa? I was sceptical. I'm so glad I gave it a try. This is a definite keeper. I didn't press the tofu though because the plate kept sliding off. :-) - 9/18/09

  • My fiance really loved this recipe (and he used to hate tofu). I thought this dish was good, especially considering how low calorie it is - it is quite satisfying. Next time I may add a bit of low fat sour cream. - 1/22/13

  • It was good, though my tofu sat for an hour and a half and was still a bit moist at the end. I think I should have baked it a little before I put all the other ingredients on top. - 2/21/11
