36 min prep 10 min cook 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Tofu
  • 1 pkg Fajita size
  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • 3 small Jalapeno peppers
  • 2 cups Monterey jack cheese
  • 1 lb Bacon
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 bottle Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 2 Garlic cloves

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl combine the cumin, chili powder, paprika, 1 minced clove of garlic and 2 tbsp of olive oil. Slice the tofu very thin, about 1/2 inch per slice, then rub each slice with the spice mixture. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat about 1 tbsp olive oil over medium high heat in a large pan.

  3. 3

    Add the tofu, a few slices at a time, watching carefully. Flip after about 1-2 minutes. Cook until done I let mine cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Half each piece, wrap with bacon, then set aside and cover with aluminum foil.

  4. 4

    Do NOT wash the pan out now put it back on the stove, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp olive oil and diced jalapeno.

  5. 5

    Saute until the peppers are almost getting a little bit brown and everything is fragrant.

  6. 6

    Add the cream cheese, 1/2 cup cheese and chicken broth.

  7. 7

    Whisk and bring to a slight boil; reducing the heat if you have to, preventing it from scorching. Once its combined and a sauce consistency, salt and pepper to your taste and pour into a separate bowl; cover.

  8. 8

    Bring the heat back up to medium-high, and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When hot add one tortilla at a time, turning after about 15-20 seconds to the other side. Your end result will be tortillas slightly brown around the edges and a little bubbly in the middle.

  9. 9

    Set aside and cover.

  10. 10

    To serve, stuff a tortilla with bacon-wrapped tofu, and drizzle the jalapeno creme on top and some Monterey jack.
