experimenting with cilantro and avocado

so, as i often do, i ended up with an avocado and nothing to do with it. and the other day, i ended up with a *huge* bag of cilantro in addition to that avocado, and even though i would happily eat guacamole for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, i decided to try something new. so i found a recipe for tofu fajitas, and made them without the fajitas (but this is the recipe that i basically copied: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/vegetarian/tofu_fajitas.html). so it basically went like this:

chop some garlic
slice a whole red onion
get some frozen peppers (because that's what we had, not suggested, they were kinda lacking in taste)
cube a big chunk of tofu and marinate in the juice of an oldish lime (again, what was in the fridge) and cumin

those things all went in a pan with some olive oil, and then i added a *lot lot lot* of chopped cilantro at the last moment, and chopped avocado. and then i ate it and it was good. and then i went to babysit. the end.


note: this is a less than triumphant return to the food blog, but things i'm good at (breakfast sandwiches, and....well, that's kind of it) will follow...
