Instructions

Stir all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
Coat the bottom of a large skillet with the oil and place it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu in an even layer. Cook the tofu for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice, until the pieces are browned on multiple sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and transfer it to a plate.
Raise the heat to medium-high and add a dash more of oil to the skillet if it seems too dry. Add the peppers and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until they become browned in spots and tender-crisp, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Return the tofu to the pan and pour the sauce over the tofu and veggies. Cook everything for 1 or 2 minutes more, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cilantro. Season the mixture with salt to taste.
Stuff the tofu mixture into tortillas and top with salsa, cashew or vegan sour cream, and/or guacamole. Serve.
