- Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
- Add to a bowl and toss with half of the oil (1 tablespoon) and half of the seasonings.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- When the tofu is done pressing, slice into thin strips.
- Toss with the remaining tablespoon of oil and the rest of the spices.
- Add to the baking sheet, keeping separate from the veggies. Try to avoid letting the tofu pieces touch each other or touch anything else, this will help it get crispier.

- Remove from the oven and serve with warm tortillas, avocado or guac, salsa or pico de gallo, fresh lime and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to sub the bell peppers for other colors, yellow or orange also work! If you prefer tempeh, you can swap it out. Do not make these oil free.
