Ingredients

Tofu Ground

Slaw

  • 1 cup radishes diced into matchsticks
  • 1 large banana pepper sliced into
  • ¼ large red onion sliced into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • teaspoon salt

Other

  • 8-12 street taco flour tortillas
  • Greek yogurt for topping
  • Cotija cheese for topping
  • Avocado for topping

Instructions

  • Remove the tofu from the package and drain excess liquid from the tofu by patting it dry with a paper towel. Set aside. 
  • Add all of the ingredients for the slaw into a bowl and toss. Place the slaw in the refrigerator for later. 
  • Heat a large skillet (that can later be placed in the oven) over medium/low and add olive oil to the pan. 
  • When the olive oil is fragrant, carefully crumble the tofu into bite size pieces and place it into the hot skillet. 
  • Let the tofu ground cook for 4-5 minutes on it’s own to cook off any liquid (do not cover). Stir the tofu around periodically.
  • When most of the excess liquid has been cooked off, season the tofu with the taco seasoning. Toss the tofu and taco seasoning together. 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, water and maple syrup. 
  • Pour the tomato paste mixture over the tofu and toss everything together. 
  • Turn the heat up to medium/high and cook the tofu in all the spices and liquid until it begins to brown (4-5 minutes). 
  • While the tofu is cooking, turn the oven to broil. 
  • Add the walnuts to the skillet and toss until it is combined with all of the tofu ground. 
  • Remove the skillet from the stove and place it in the oven. 
  • Let the tofu and walnut sit under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until it browns. 
  • Remove the oven. 
  • Assemble the tacos. Place the tortilla flat and add a spoonful of tofu ground to the tortilla and then top the tofu with the radish slaw. Repeat until all tacos are assembled. 
  • Top with optional toppings and enjoy.
