Puerto Rican Tofu Quisado is a flavorful, plant-based twist on the traditional quesadilla featuring seasoned tofu sautéed with Puerto Rican spices and vegetables, perfect for a quick and hearty meal.

Ingredients

  1. 14 oz firm tofu, drained and crumbled
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 small onion, diced
    1/2 green bell pepper, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    Salt and pepper to taste
    4 large flour tortillas
    1 cup shredded cheese (vegan cheese for dairy-free option)
    Optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, cilantro

Instructions

Press tofu to remove excess water, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic until soft.
  2. Add crumbled tofu, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned and flavorful.
  3. Place a tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over one side, then spread the tofu mixture on top. Add remaining cheese and fold the tortilla over.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  5. Slice and serve with avocado, salsa, or cilantro as desired.

Notes

  1. Add mushrooms, corn, or spinach to the tofu mixture for extra veggies.
  2. Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  3. Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  4. Try different cheeses like pepper jack, mozzarella, or vegan cheese.
  5. Store leftovers wrapped in foil or airtight containers in fridge up to 2 days.
  6. Reheat in skillet or oven to keep tortillas crispy; avoid microwaving.
