'Taco Crumble and a whole lot more'
The 'whole lot more' part comes from me thinking that it would be good wherever you want a crumbled 'meat like' substance...anyway, here is where I originally found the recipe but I did change just a couple things.
Ingredients
- 1 block extra-firm tofu
- 1/8-1/4 c Braggs Liquid Aminos (soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3/4th tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 c water
Instructions
Freeze tofu overnight or until ready for use in its
original package
On the day of, let tofu thaw in the fridge or on the
counter, still in its package
When thawed, drain the tofu and press- this can be
accomplished by placing the tofu in a tofu press or between two heavy plates-
for about an hour
Crumble tofu and mix with 1/8 C soy sauce, and only add more at the end if you think it needs it!
Heat skillet over medium-high heat
Add olive oil and heat until it shimmers
Add tofu and saute until it is heated through and
thoroughly crumbled, about 4-5 minutes
Add in spices and water, and simmer uncovered until most
of the water has evaporated, about 10 minutes
Remove from heat and serve in taco shells
I found that the tofu was quite spongy, and decided to use my handy dandy chopper to crumble it.
Here it is crumbled, just before adding the Braggs.
Seasonings have been added...
...and mixed in!
It is really good! When I tasted it, I was trying to tast just raw tofu, and couldn't...everything was seasoned very well and I can't wait till supper to have it on TACOS!!!
I will post more pictures after supper tonight, and you can see it all come together!!
