Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 block extra-firm tofu drained and patted very dry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1 packet taco seasoning 1-ounce
- taco shells soft or hard, for serving
Optional Toppings
- fresh diced tomatoes
- avocado slices
- salsa
- guacamole
- chopped cilantro
- fresh lime juice
- light sour cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Gently pat your extra-firm tofu block completely dry with paper towels – no pressing needed for this easy method! This crucial step helps it get wonderfully crispy.
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil and soy sauce over medium heat. Using your hands, crumble the dry tofu directly into the skillet. Aim for a delightful mix of smaller and slightly larger pieces for great texture in every bite.
- Evenly sprinkle the entire packet of taco seasoning over the crumbled tofu in the skillet. Stir gently to coat everything.
- Sauté the tofu crumbles for 15-20 minutes over medium heat. To achieve those irresistible browned and crispy edges, let the tofu sit undisturbed for 2-3 minute intervals before stirring. Repeat this a few times until golden, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
- Spoon the flavorful tofu taco "meat" into your favorite soft or hard taco shells. Load them up with your desired healthy toppings like fresh tomatoes, creamy avocado, vibrant salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice for a light, satisfying, and delicious meal!
