Super Easy Tofu Tacos
These are great for a light lunch! For a non-vegan version, top each taco with a little shredded Mexican cheese too.
Ingredients
- 5.6 oz (2 servings) light extra-firm tofu
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ½ cup chopped red bell pepper
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 4 corn tortillas (small soft taco size)
- optional: salsa (to serve)
Instructions
- Slice the tofu into 6 thin rectangles. Place on a double-thick layer of paper towels, and put another double-layer on top. Press down until the paper towels are soaked through with liquid. Repeat. Sprinkle each side of the tofu slices with the chili powder, gently rubbing it in.
- Preheat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat (do not use oil!). Lay the tofu slices into the pan, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden. Remove from the heat, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Lightly coat the pan with nonstick cooking spray, and add the bell peppers. Season with the salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate, and heat on HIGH for 6-10 seconds or until warmed. Place ¼ of the tofu down the center of each tortilla, and top with ¼ of the bell peppers. Serve immediately with salsa (if using).
Notes
This recipe is easily doubled!
Yellow or orange bell peppers may be substituted for the red bell peppers. (I'm not the biggest fan of green ones!)
Flour tortillas may be substituted for the corn tortillas.
For spicier tacos, feel free to increase the amount of chili powder to suit your tastes!
