Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • Tofu taco meat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 eggplant, chopped
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can of refried beans
  • Salsa
  • Optional toppings: sharp cheddar cheese, avocados

Instructions

  1. Toast the corn tortillas. I do this on a griddle, but you can also do it in a skillet. To toast them in the skillet, crank the heat to high. Make sure the pan is really nice and hot before adding a tortilla. Cook for 1-2 minutes, flip and cook for another minute. Grilling the tortillas is also a great option!
  2. Make the tofu taco meat.
  3. Add the olive oil to a skillet and turn the heat to high. Once warm, add the chopped eggplant. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  4. Add the bell pepper to the pan with the eggplant. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  5. Assembly time! Grab a tortilla or two, smear it with refried beans, add some tofu taco meat, a scoop of eggplant and bell peppers, and top it off with some salsa. Yum!

Notes

Great as leftovers the next day!
