Tofu Tacos

This was a freestyle cooking method when these tacos were developed.  Exact measurements may be a bit off.

WHAT'S IN IT?
  • 3.5 ounces extra firm organic tofu, broken into small pieces
  • 1 tsp sliced organic green onion
  • 1 tsp fresh organic cilantro
  • Finger grab of organic arugula and spinach mix
  • 1/4 avocado diced
  • 1 tbs taco seasoning
  • 1 tbs sliced cucumber, without the skin
  • 2 Siete almond flour tortilla's
  • 1 tbs organic olive oil
  • 1 tbs nutritional yeast

HOW TO MAKE IT:
If you have a cast iron skillet, it's the preferred cooking gear for this.   It allows the tofu to get a little crunchier.

Add olive oil to pan and heat it on a medium temp.  Slowly sprinkle the tofu into the pan, so it covers the entire pan.  Let it cook for 2 minutes before you start to move it around.  Sprinkle yeast and taco seasoning over the tofu and blend.   Let the tofu sit for 2 minutes, move it around, let it sit for 2 more minutes.  Add the green onion and cilantro.  Cook the tofu to your desired crispiness.  I cooked it for about 10 minutes.  

Warm the two tortilla's, place the arugula/spinach mix on top then layer in the tofu, adding the cucumber, and avocado.  Top it off with your favorite hot sauce and serve.   For a spicier kick, toss in some jalapeno's.

It's so damn good, you won't know it's tofu!

Crispy Tofu and Asparagus

WHAT'S IN IT?

Tofu Marinade
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Saute'ed Garlic Roasted Red Pepper Topping
  • 1 package organic extra firm tofu, cut in small squares 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 4 oz roasted red peppers, diced 
  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Braggs liquid aminos
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

HOW TO MAKE IT:

Marinade

Pour the olive oil, teriyaki and soy sauce in a medium size bowl, sprinkle in salt and pepper.  Add the tofu to the sauce and make the marinade covers each square.   Let stand.

We cooked the tofu in an air fryer for 30 minutes.  If you bake it in the oven on a baking sheet, cook at 405 degrees for 30 minutes or until crisp.  Toss the the tofu every 5 minutes I usually place the baking sheet on the top rack, after 5 minutes of baking I toss the tofu around, and move the baking sheet to the lower rack for another 5 minutes.  You'll want to repeat this every 5 minutes, for crispier tofu.

Saute'ed Topping
Place black iron skillet on stove, and heat on medium temperature.  Add olive oil and let heat.  Pour in the garlic and onion, saute' for 2 minutes.  Add roasted red bell peppers; saute for 2 minutes, add Braggs liquid aminos, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.  Saute for 3-5 minutes on a lower heat, until vegetables start to brown.

Side 
We served this dish with a side of Saute'ed asparagus.   In a skillet on medium temperature add 1 tbs olive oil and heat, add 1 bunch of asparagus, sautee on a medium low heat, moving the asparagus around.  Add sea salt and black pepper.  Cook until the asparagus becomes blackened.

Enjoy your gourmet meal!!
