Who says you need beef to have a dang good taco? Crumbled, extra firm tofu gets golden and crispy in the pan, then joins forces with Old El Paso™ Original Taco Seasoning Mix for a vegetarian take on our classic beef taco recipe. Looks like there’s a new sheriff in taco town.
Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and crumble it to resemble ground beef.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 cup water; cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes.
Divide tofu among the heated shells and serve with toppings of choice.
This recipe has been developed vegetarian. Always read labels on product packaging to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegetarian. Products and ingredient sources can change.
Round up some shredded cheddar, lettuce, diced tomato, and sour cream, then pile ’em high on your tofu tacos.
Here’s a mighty fine trick: Grate the tofu instead of crumbling it for a pulled-chicken look.
Give your tofu some extra get-up-and-go by adding a can of Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles.
