Provided by Nora Taylor

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce ((tamari for gluten free))
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder
14 ounce block firm tofu, patted dry
8-10 small corn or flour tortillas
Optional: Vegan Sour Cream
Optional: salsa, diced avocado, diced tomatoes, non-dairy cheese shreds, shredded lettuce, cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika and chili powder. Now crumble the tofu into the bowl with your hands, and mix together using a large spoon until well combined with the paste.
  • Spread the tofu mixture evenly in the parchment lined pan. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then give it a little stir and bake for 15-20 more minutes, until the tofu is golden, crispy in places and chewy.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately in corn/flour tortillas with desired toppings.

TOFU TACOS - THE BEST VEGAN TACO!



Tofu Tacos - The Best Vegan Taco! image

Provided by Claudia Gomez

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 block (12 oz) of extra firm tofu
2 Tbsp of neutral oil
1 Tbsp of soy sauce
1 tsp of chili powder
1 tsp of chipotle chili powder (can substitute with smoked paprika)
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/2 tsp of onion powder
Taco shells or tortillas (store-bought are fine, homemade are divine)
1 can of rinsed and drained black beans (optional)
2 Tbsp of nutritional yeast (optional)
1 cup of prepared salsa
Sliced veggies for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, and spices. Form a fairly runny paste. If required, add a little bit more oil.
  • Using your hands, crumble up the super firm tofu into small pieces. Make sure no major sized bits are left remaining. It's okay if the crumbles differ in size - they will crisp up differently and provide a great variety of texture.
  • Add the crumbled tofu into the bowl with the seasoning paste. Combine well, making sure that all the tofu pieces are coated evenly.
  • Lay all the tofu pieces on a covered baking sheet.
  • Stirring occasionally, bake at around 355°F for 25-35 min, or until all of the tofu is nice and crispy. Some pieces will be darker than others, and that's perfectly fine - just make sure not to burn them.
  • Finish the tofu with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, if desired, for an extra cheesy note and B-vitamins!
  • Heat up the salsa in a saucepan until it's hot all the way through and reaches a nice, thick consistency. If desired, this is where you add your black beans for the final minute or two of cooking.
  • Mix your tofu with your salsa mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fill your tortillas with the tofu mixture. Add veggies, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

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.

  • Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into roughly bite-sized crumbles. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!). Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the tofu and cook on medium high for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up large pieces into bite sized chunks and stirring occasionally, until browned and lightly crispy and the liquid evaporates. (The exact timing depends on the tofu brand.)
  • Thinly slice the red cabbage, and place it in a bowl. Spritz with the juice of 2 lime wedges and add a few pinches kosher salt. Mix the vegan yogurt with Mexican hot sauce to taste, and add a few pinches of salt.
  • Warm the tortillas: Warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
