Taco Filling and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Tofu

    In a bowl, mix the crumbled tofu with turmeric, cumin, paprika, and salt. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned tofu and sauté for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is slightly crispy and golden.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    In another skillet, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Fill each tortilla with the sautéed tofu, then top with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan meal!
