Tofu Taco Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
• Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• Use your hands to crumble the tofu into a medium bowl. Add the soy sauce, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, pepper, and cayenne and stir until well-combined.
• Add a drizzle of olive oil to a large baking sheet. Transfer the tofu to the baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it out as much as possible.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
• Fill the tortillas with the tofu, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, and guacamole.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Wring out and crumble the thawed tofu.
• Heat the oil in a skillet, and brown the crumbled tofu.
• Add the remainder of the ingredients and cook to heat through and combine flavors.

Steps:

• Over a medium heat fry the tofu, oil, garlic and onion in a large skillet for 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, salt, lime juice and tomato sauce to the skillet and stir. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the cilantro. Spoon mixture in a serving bowl.
• Spoon the tofu mixture into taco shells. Top the mixture with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, Cheddar cheese and salsa.

Steps:

• Optional for more texture: Freeze tofu overnight. Thaw by boiling for 15 minutes.
• Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil.
• Add aminos, tomato paste and spices to pan. Stir well.
• Squeeze the water out of the tofu with a dishtowel. Crumble it finely into the pan (so that it vaguely has the texture of ground beef). Cook, stirring occasionally, a few minutes or until slightly browned.
• Drain most of the liquid off the tomatoes, then add to pan. Stir and cook a few more minutes.
