Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu, drained and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced, for topping
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Drain tofu and pat dry. Crumble onto the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes until edges are slightly browned.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add crumbled baked tofu and taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  6. 6

    Mix in salsa and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.

  7. 7

    Warm corn tortillas over an open flame for 30 seconds on each side.

  8. 8

    Assemble tacos with tofu mixture, avocado slices, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve hot.

Chef's tip

Using fresh lime juice brightens the flavors and enhances the taste of the tofu filling. Opt for organic tofu for a cleaner taste.
