Tofu Tacos

      In an effort to find new foods to try and make healthy versions of the foods I love. I was inspired to make tofu tacos by the new menu item Sofitas at “Chipotle” (which is delicious by the way).  I love Mexican food so I thought why not replace ground beef in my tacos for tofu!! I hope this makes you think of other substitutions you could make to foods you like.  

Ingredients

-          1 package extra (super) firm tofu

-          3 cloves garlic(chopped)

-          ½ medium onion (chopped)

-          Small jar roasted red peppers (chopped)

-          1 teaspoon cumin

-          1 teaspoon dried oregano

-          1 teaspoon salt and pepper

-          Pinch of cayenne pepper (to taste)

Directions

-          Drain and crumble the tofu

-          Mix all the seasonings in a small bowl

-          In a sauté pan, sauté chopped garlic, onions, and red pepper until soft.

-          Add tofu to pan, sauté for 2 minutes

-          Add seasoning mix, cook for about 5 more minutes

You can then have your regular taco fixings on hand, such as soft and hard taco shells, diced tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, avocado and sour cream.  Have fun with it, make lots of topping options and let everyone make whatever they like.  Enjoy!

Live Healthy,
