  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 5 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol/stevia blend
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 small red bell pepper diced
  • 5 medium butter lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the skillet on stove. Slice the extra firm tofu into approximately 1-inch cubes and pat dry with a towel.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the natural peanut butter, liquid aminos, sesame oil, chili powder, lime juice, and sweetener. Stir well until smooth.
