Cooking Steps
- Add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir in bulgur until water returns to a boil. Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut hot pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers!)
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add peppers to the dry pan. Cover and cook, flipping the pieces halfway through, until dark golden, 4-5 min.
- Transfer peppers to a medium bowl.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 3), then tofu. Pan-fry until golden, 3-4 min. (NOTE: Cook tofu in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Add Tex-Mex paste, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook, stirring often, until tofu is coated, 1 min.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes, lime juice and half the cilantro to the bowl with peppers.
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Fluff bulgur with a fork. Stir in remaining cilantro.
- Add sour cream and lime zest to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Divide bulgur between bowls.
- Top with tofu, then salsa and lime crema.
- Sprinkle with feta.
