Instructions
Prepare the Tofu Taco Crumbles
- Drain a block of extra-firm tofu from the liquid it comes packaged with, then use a couple of paper towels to gently squeeze any more liquid out of the tofu.
- Use your hands, or a potato masher, to crumble the tofu. Just make sure you don't completely mash the tofu, as you still want it to have some texture to it.
- Add the crumbled tofu to a large mixing bowl with the minced garlic, cumin, black pepper, oregano, salt, chopped chipotle chilies and adobo sauce. Toss until it’s coated in the spices.
- Place a rack in the upper third of your oven and turn the broiler to high.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the seasoned tofu crumbles and cook for 6 minutes. Add the salsa and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Spread the tofu crumbles evenly in the bottom of the skillet and place the skillet in the oven under the broiler for 4 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, stir the tofu crumbles and place back in the oven for 4 minutes.
Assemble the tacos
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
- Fill each tortilla with the tofu crumbles, then add the toppings of your choice.
Notes
- If you’d like your tofu extra crispy, add 4 minutes to the total cook time under the broiler. Using this method, the tofu crumbles will cook for 6 minutes, stir and cook for an extra 6 minutes.
- If you don’t have a skillet that can go under the broiler in the oven, you can transfer the tofu mixture to a rimmed baking sheet to cook it under the broiler. I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier clean-up.
- You can make the tofu taco crumbles ahead of time if you’d like to meal-prep this recipe. Simply store the tofu crumbles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat the tofu crumbles, add them to a hot skillet on the stove and cook for 3-5 minutes to crisp them back up before adding them to tacos.
- This recipe has a medium spice level. If you want to make spicy tofu tacos, add more chipotle peppers and use hot salsa. To make it less spicy, only use 1 chipotle pepper and use mild salsa.
