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...
