- Tofu
1 oz extra firm silken tofu (drained)
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
- Vegan Tacos
3 tbsp olive oil
1 package seitan chorizo
1 red onion (diced)
1 poblano pepper (finely sliced)
1 serrano pepper (diced)
1 lb baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 bunches cilantro (sliced for garnish)
1 stalk green onion (diced)
- Spices
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Hungarian paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp Tajin
Salt/pepper to taste
6 corn tortillas
vegan or dairy cheese (I love Violife shredded cheddar)
Directions
- Tofu
- Drain tofu by putting a heavy object over it on a chopping board for at least 30 minutes.
- When it’s drained, put your tofu in a bowl and season with turmeric, chili powder, smoked paprika and sprinkle of salt. Let it sit while you chop your veggies (at least 10 minutes).
- Veggie Tacos
- In a medium non-stick pan, heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil on medium heat, then add your seitan chorizo and sauté on each side for 4-5 minutes until crispy.
- In a larger shallow pan, heat up your olive oil on medium heat, then add onions and sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Then add your peppers and mushrooms. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes till they are slightly browned. Add your garlic and spices, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Now you can add your tofu to your veggies and mix it all together for about 5 minutes. Sauté till the tofu starts to get brown.
- Add the browned seitan chorizo to the mixture and sauté together for 1 minute. Turn your heat off and garnish with cilantro and green onion. Your tacos are ready!
- Heat up your corn tortillas, add your tofu-veggie mix to it, top with your vegan/dairy cheese choices, sprinkle more cilantro and onion. I love throwing avocado slices on it as well.
Notes
- I usually add more spices to this but if you aren’t a fan of spicy food, just start out with 1 tsp of each.
- If you want your silken tofu to be more like “eggs”, then add more turmeric to them.
- If you’re using Violife vegan cheddar, melt it on the corn tortilla in the microwave for 30 seconds, it’ll melt really nicely and the flavor complements the corn tortilla.
- You can serve your tofu crumble veggie mix with refried beans – just put the refried beans on the corn tortillas first and then add the mixture on top.
- Pickled onions are a nice garnish.
