Zesty Street Tofu Tacos topped with your favorites
My family and I are huge fans of tofu. We’ve been enjoying it for many years and I try to incorporate it into our meals any way I can. I’ve always liked to just chop it up and add it to my soups or salads as is. Sometimes I coat it with corn starch and lightly fry it to give it a little crispy bite to add to my rice bowls. It also makes a great breakfast scramble when cutting back on eggs or when you want to add something different to your breakfast routine. Scrambled tofu breakfast burritos are great!
Now, I’m trying something new. I’ve never made tofu tacos. My mission was to make the most delicious tofu tacos, so delicious that their flavor would surpass any other taco we’ve ever eaten. I think I did it and it was so simple!
With just a few ingredients for seasoning and your favorite taco toppings, I created these amazing baked tofu tacos. The flavor is zesty with just a bit of spice. Think of it as a meatless version of chorizo or seasoned ground beef. Plus, a little goes a long way. I am able to feed my family with two Mori-Nu Silken Tofu packages. It is so versatile, that if there are any leftovers, I can mix it with potatoes, fill burritos, empanadas and top tostadas with it.
Mori-Nu is available at your nearest supermarket in Soft, Firm, Extra Firm, Lite Firm, Organic and Nigari so you can chop it, fry it, blend it or enjoy as is.
