Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 block tofu high protein or super firm
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce swap for tamari or coconut aminos
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup swap for tomato free ketchup if necessary
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Mixing spoons
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Prep. Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. Make the tofu tacos. In a large mixing bowl, add the tofu, crumbling it between your fingers into bite sized pieces. Drizzle over the soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix to coat. Then add all spices and mix fully again. Transfer the tofu to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake and serve. Bake uncovered for 15 to 18 minutes or until tofu is a deep golden color. The smaller crumbles should be a little crunchy but still soft on the inside. Serve in flour or corn tortillas with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
