From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser

Freeze for at least 24 hours:

1 box extra firm tofu

When ready to prepare, slice tofu into 4 equal strips.

Cut each strip into 5 equal pieces.

Place in a strainer for 3 or more hours. The drier, the better.

If still wet, blot with a paper towel.

In a paper lunch bag: 

2 tsp taco seasoning

1 Tbsp cornstarch

2 Tbsp flour

the dry tofu

Shake bag to coat the tofu.

Over med heat, in a large pan:

1 Tbsp oil

the seasoned tofu

Add more oil as needed to prevent sticking.

Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Reduce to low heat.

Add:

1 1/4 c favorite salsa (we like mild and sweet)

1 can black beans, rinsed

1 can reduced fat cream of chicken soup

Cook until warmed through.

Serve over cooked white rice.

Makes 5 servings.
