  3. Chop the bell pepper and cilantro, and shred the romaine lettuce. Combine the lettuce in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Once tofu is cooked, assemble the salad by layering in the chopped ingredients. Gently fold in the cooked tofu.

  6. Just before serving, sprinkle tortilla chips on top for added crunch.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture and enjoy!
