Super simple and easy to make, this tofu taco meatless meat is a staple in our home. Crumbled tofu, a little olive oil, spices, and heat. That’s it! I’ve even fooled a couple of the neighbor kids with this recipe; they swear it’s chicken. Better than Sofritas! With a little spice and sizzle, no one will know it’s tofu, except the chef!

It’s easy to make and only requires a few ingredients….
