Taco Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes. In a bowl, combine turmeric, olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Toss the tofu cubes in the marinade until well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu cubes and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy on the edges. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the soft taco shells in a separate skillet or microwave. Fill each shell with the turmeric tofu and top with your choice of fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, or lime juice.
