hi.........
Yup, the tofu is going to go in with the filling mix. Chicken, refried beans, rice, salsa, tofu, and lot of spices. These are going to be pan fried rather then deep fried though. That way they don't retain as much oil.CHIMICHANGA????? wait....fried burrito?? NICE.

I am displacing a portion of the meat, not excluding it entirely. The sloppy joes where vegetarian though.Interesting! I thought you were doing tofu in place of meat.
The chimichangas were made in my absence. They did not include tofu. The universe shall now end...
What if you used a mix of cubed tofu and queso blanco in your chimichangas?
For a little acidity... maybe some pickled cactus too... this could be good, albeit a heart attack on a plate.

Right! That sounds good, or firm tofu cubed and seared. I am thinking black bean, browned tofu and cheese. Really I am thinking sharp cheddar though.
and really.....(since it came up) Deep frying at a high enough temp (350F) creates such steam in the item being fried, that less fat soaks in than even pan frying.
Low heat fried foods end up greasy.
Stay thirsty my friends......
Hmm, that sounds good actually. Though I'm not sure about the cactus.For a little acidity... maybe some pickled cactus too... this could be good, albeit a heart attack on a plate.

That sounds good. A little like meat loaf, only with more sauce?Once attempted to make veggie burgers with spent grain and tofu. Didn't quite work as patties and wound up just becoming pretty rad sloppy joes. I gotta find that recipe again....
Interesting. Would you care to elaborate?People who say tofu doesn't taste like anything are wrong. Tofu has a wide variety of flavors. Unfortunately the stuff they sell in the supermarket is only one example, and that's the one everyone in the US thinks of. It is the equivalent of thinking all cheese is like American cheese.
Hmmm......the more I think....what about marinating tofu? Maybe salt chili powder and lime juice?
Maybe get the acidity from the lime juice rather than cactus.
I tried this with a worcester based sauce once. It was not a good idea. I suppose the mistake was trying to make it taste like meat.I cant fault that logic. Maybe a little tumeric as well?
Alas, her allergy to seafood shall see this dish never make an appearance in my kitchen.I love agedashi tofu - basically, deep fried slices of tofu covered in a sweet sauce. This is a Japanese appetizer and one of my favorite things to do with tofu. You can find it in good Japanese restaurants or sushi bars.
