Categories     Meatless Meals For Two

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 fajita-sized flour tortillas
1 teaspoon olive oil
7 ounces baked tofu, storebought, sriracha or teriyaki flavor
2 ounces prepared guacamole (or half a small avocado, seeded and sliced)
1 cup coleslaw mix (about 3 ounces), or shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced mango, about half a large mango
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (see note)
A small chunk of red onion (about 1-inch wide), thinly sliced
Half a small jalapeno, seeded and diced (omit if you prefer less spicy heat)
Juice of 1 lime, about 2 to 3 teaspoons
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine the coleslaw mix, mango, cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, and lime juice. Toss well to combine. Taste and add a little maple syrup or honey and salt and black pepper as desired, set aside.
  • Remove tofu from packaging and slice into 8 equal pieces. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu and cook until browned about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • While the tofu is heating, warm the tortillas using one of the methods in the notes section. Once warmed through, place tortillas in a clean towel and cover to keep warm.
  • To assemble the tacos, spread tortillas with guacamole. Layer each one with 2 tofu pieces and 1/4 of the slaw mixture. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges, if desired.

STREET TACO WITH MANGO SALSA



Street Taco with Mango Salsa image

We are not vegetarian but like to eat healthy. I created this because we love to substitute grains and sometimes tofu for meat. When I make one that my husband raves about, I like to share it. Don't be afraid to try a variety of grains as meat substitutes. Doesn't have to always be tofu. Feel free to use ground turkey, pork, or chicken. Play with the spices. I sure do! Enjoy.

2 ½ cups water
1 cup freekeh
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ onion, chopped
½ green bell pepper, diced
½ (12 ounce) package tofu, sliced
½ (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon diced serrano chile pepper
1 (15.25 ounce) can corn
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
¼ lemon, juiced
¼ lime, juiced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground coriander

1 pinch salt
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
10 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

TOFU TACOS



Tofu Tacos image

Firm tofu, pressed to remove excess water and seared until crisp, makes a satisfying taco filling when topped with all the fixings. Your Taco Tuesday (or Meatless Monday) will never be the same!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces firm tofu, drained and cut into 8 slices
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
1 small bunch radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 bunch scallions, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into wedges
1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Eight 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup jarred salsa verde

Steps:

  • Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
  • Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use firm or extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Press the tofu before cooking: This will remove excess water and help the tofu absorb the marinade.
  • Marinate the tofu for at least 30 minutes: This will give the tofu time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a high-heat cooking method: This will help to create a crispy crust on the tofu.
  • Serve the tofu tacos with your favorite toppings: Such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Mango tofu tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tofu is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then pan-fried until crispy. The tacos are then filled with the tofu, along with mango salsa, avocado, and cabbage. These tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
