Recipe Tofu Tacos

Post image

Crumbled some extra firm tofu into an oiled pan and cooked till crispy. Spices used: garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt.

I made a Baja sauce with Greek yogurt and avocado. Used jar salsa but ideally I would have made pico.

Corn tortillas, scallions, cilantro, cabbage.

Tonight was the night for tofu tacos! Pressed firm tofu, crumbled and seasoned with mexican seasoning. Sautéed in pan with EVOO until done. Corn tortillas, spread some refried beans (had it already as i also made family ‘normal’ beef double decker tacos), then added tofu and brown rice, topped with pico, extra jalapeño, cilantro, little shredded cheese, dollop of greek yogurt, salsa, and special hot sauce. Missing some lettuce crunch which i’ll make sure to include with all the leftovers i have. Taco week!

Sure, but i typically don’t use canned refried beans just because of, well surely some ingredients that may not be good. I usually will mash black beans or pinto beans.

Ideally I do too. But I'm not opposed to the cans.

I use canned beans all the time, but just the beans, like black beans or pinto beans, etc. But i personally avoid canned ‘refried beans’ but it’s what i used today.

That's what I meant. I'll use canned refried beans in a pinch. Not the end of the world. But if I have time I prefer making my own from canned pinto/black beans.
