Quick, easy, and delicious. I am always looking for new ways to prepare tofu for my vegetarian daughter. I got the idea to try tofu with taco seasoning. Keep a couple of blocks of tofu in your freezer. The tofu will get a meatier texture from freezing it, if you have time. You can defrost it in the microwave, if you don't have time to let it defrost. Here's a picture: /albums/s294/mac_girl2062/?action=view¤t=1028081928.jpg Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package tofu, water squeezed out, and crumbled |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix |
2 tablespoons oil |
2 cups water |
1 (5 ounce) package taco shells |
1 cup grated cheese |
1 cup chopped tomato |
2 cups shredded lettuce |
1/2 cup diced onion |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large skillet.
2. Brown crumbled tofu in the oil for 5 minutes.
3. Add 2 cups water and the package of taco seasoning mix.
4. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes on low, stirring occasionally.
5. Spoon into taco shells.
6. Garnish with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, or olives as desired.
7. Optional, For a meatier texture, I like to first freeze the tofu then defrost it.
