Roast Tofu or Chicken Fajitas

Submitted by Vaguely Vegan

"This is a recipe from a "Canadian Living" magazine. It was titled "Roast Chicken Fajitas" but I don't eat meat so I changed the title!! If you make it without the meat - it's a very healthy vegetarian meal. If you make it without the meat/dairy - it's a very delicious vegan meal. I like my food "spicy" so I increase the chili powder & cumin."

I made these with tofu and they were really great. I served them with some spanish rice, guacamole and corn salsa.

These are delicious! I made them with chicken and added more lime juice as I LOVE limes. They're also good to have with rice. I like to add cheese to mine too! we skip the lettuce though. They are a family favorite.
