TOFU TACOS



Tofu Tacos image

Firm tofu, pressed to remove excess water and seared until crisp, makes a satisfying taco filling when topped with all the fixings. Your Taco Tuesday (or Meatless Monday) will never be the same!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces firm tofu, drained and cut into 8 slices
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1 small bunch radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into wedges
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Eight 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup jarred salsa verde

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.

I love tofu and this is a recipe that I adapted from Sunset Magazine. The original recipe calls for cabbage, I use lettuce instead. Use cabbage if you desire.

TOFU TACO/BURRITO FILLING



Tofu Taco/Burrito Filling image

This is derived and slightly adapted from the "Tofu-chiladas" recipe in "Vegetarian Meals for People on the Go" by Vimala Rodgers. If you're vegetarian, it's a nice alternative to beans in your Mexican food. My husband said I could probably pass it off to meat-eaters as eggs in a breakfast burrito. I would never try to fool anyone, though.

Categories     Soy/Tofu

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb extra firm tofu
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup Braggs liquid aminos or 1/8 cup tamari
3 ounces tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
14 ounces canned diced tomatoes

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.

EASY TOFU TACOS



Easy Tofu Tacos image

Quick, easy, and delicious. I am always looking for new ways to prepare tofu for my vegetarian daughter. I got the idea to try tofu with taco seasoning. Keep a couple of blocks of tofu in your freezer. The tofu will get a meatier texture from freezing it, if you have time. You can defrost it in the microwave, if you don't have time to let it defrost.

TOFU TACO FILLING



Tofu Taco Filling image

This is a favorite of my kids who love meat but prefer their tacos this way. Be sure to allow time for the frozen block of tofu to thaw. Freezing and thawing it turns it into a completely different texture. We serve with corn or flour tortillas, refried beans, cheese, lettuce, and plain yogurt pretending to be sour cream. It's not too hot for the kiddos, and Dad jazzes his up with hot sauce...but then he has an asbestos tongue.
