- 12 oz block extra firm tofu 350 g
- ½ cup tomato sauce not ketchup
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning homemade or store bought
Tacos
- 8 small tortillas or taco shells
- 4 cups cole slaw mix or lettuce
- 2 avocados sliced
Prepare - Heat broiler up. Mash tofu into crumbles in a bowl, then spread on a large baking sheet.
Broil - Broil for 3-5 minutes, stirring the tofu up every 1-2 minutes, until it is golden and slightly crunchy. Some small bits might brown and that's OK. When tofu texture is where you want it, remove it from the oven.
Fry - In a frying pan, stir together the tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Heat over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until completely combined. Toss the tofu crumbles in the sauce.
Assemble - Assemble your tacos with salsa, crunchy greens, and avocado slices, and enjoy!

- Reheat - heat in the microwave until steaming hot.
