Vegan Tacos Recipe
This vegan taco is one of the best you'll ever taste, as it is juicy and delicious with a pleasing flavor profile, and it is still way healthier than the classic version.
Equipment
- Cheese grater
Ingredients
For Fillings
- 1 block extra-firm tofu about 400g
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 1 tomato chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon oregano ground
For Tacos
- 8 taco shells or burrito wraps
- your favorite topping eg, hot sauce, lettuce, etc
Instructions
- Using the large side of a cheese grater, grate the tofu blocks into shreds. Remove excess water and set aside in a bowl.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the oil, and after it heats up, add in the garlic and onions and sauté for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the shredded tofu and mix it properly. Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes until the tofu browns. If you want it tender, cook for less time, and if you want it dry, cook for more time.
- Once you reach your preferred texture, mix in the tomato, soy sauce, and all of the spices, and cook for 3-5 more minutes.
- Now, prepare your taco shells or tortilla wraps. Fill the taco shells or wrap with the taco meat filling you just prepared and top with your chosen toppings.
Notes
- When cooking, don't stir the tofu too much, as it needs to cook for a couple of minutes so that the bottom can brown.
- If you have any leftovers, allow them to cool, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
