Tofu Taco/Burrito Filling image

This is derived and slightly adapted from the "Tofu-chiladas" recipe in "Vegetarian Meals for People on the Go" by Vimala Rodgers. If you're vegetarian, it's a nice alternative to beans in your Mexican food. My husband said I could probably pass it off to meat-eaters as eggs in a breakfast burrito. I would never try to fool anyone, though.

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb extra firm tofu
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup Braggs liquid aminos or 1/8 cup tamari
3 ounces tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
14 ounces canned diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Optional for more texture: Freeze tofu overnight. Thaw by boiling for 15 minutes.
  • Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil.
  • Add aminos, tomato paste and spices to pan. Stir well.
  • Squeeze the water out of the tofu with a dishtowel. Crumble it finely into the pan (so that it vaguely has the texture of ground beef). Cook, stirring occasionally, a few minutes or until slightly browned.
  • Drain most of the liquid off the tomatoes, then add to pan. Stir and cook a few more minutes.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile. I've used it to make tacos, burritos, and even enchiladas.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tofu didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tofu. I had some in my fridge and didn't know what to do with it, so I tried this recipe and it turned out great.

I made this recipe for my friends who are vegan, and they raved about it. They said it was the best tofu dish they've ever had.
