Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 taco shells
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Drain the tofu block completely and press out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Crumble the tofu into small, meat-like pieces using your hands or a fork.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Cook the tofu for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to become golden and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the tofu, stirring thoroughly to ensure even coating. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tofu is well-seasoned and slightly crisp.
- While the tofu is cooking, warm the taco shells according to package instructions. This can be done in the oven, microwave, or directly on a gas stovetop.
- Prepare the taco toppings by shredding the lettuce and slicing the avocado.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the seasoned tofu "meat" into each taco shell, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, and a spoonful of salsa.
- Serve immediately while the tofu is warm and the taco shells are crisp. Optional: Add additional toppings like vegan sour cream or hot sauce if desired.
