Instructions

1. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel and finely dice the onion. Core, deseed and finely dice the green pepper. Zest the lime and quarter it. Trim and discard the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves. Gently crush the tortilla chips in their bag into small pieces.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper and tofu (crumbled or diced). Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the tofu, until lightly browned and the onion is slightly softened, 4-5 minutes. Add the Fajita Spice Blend and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the stock concentrate, ½ teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and the mixture is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes more.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime zest and juice from one lime wedge. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend over the tofu mixture. Cover the pan until the cheese melts, 1-2 minutes. Divide the lettuce leaves between plates; fill with the tofu fajita mixture. Drizzle with the lime crema and sprinkle with the crushed tortilla chips. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
