Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block Extra Firm Tofu
- 1 can, 8oz Tomato Sauce
- 1/4 cup Tomato Paste
- 3–4 tbsp Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Cilantro Chopped
- 1–2 tbsp Lemon Juice Fresh
- 1 pinch Salt
- Soft, corn tortillas
- 1 batch Cilantro Honey Lime Coleslaw
Instructions
- Open and drain 1 package of extra firm tofu. Once drained, take tofu block out and pat dry with paper towels.
- Wrap tofu in several paper towels or a kitchen towel, place on dinner plate and put another dinner plate upside down on top of the tofu block. Place a weight (I use a 5lb dumbbell weight) on top. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Once the tofu has sat for 15-20 minutes, unwrap it and crumble it with your hands or a fork until there are no large pieces left.
- Heat a skillet with some olive oil (roughly 2 tbsp) and place tofu in skillet and let cook for 3 minutes stirring frequently.
- Add in tomato sauce, tomato paste, and taco seasoning (see note). Let cook for 5-7 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and tofu mixture has a good consistancy.
- In a small mixing bowl whisk together yogurt, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt.
- Heat tortillas, either 10 seconds in the microwave, or 10 seconds on each side in the skillet.
- Take the yogurt mixture and spread desired amount on the tortillas.
- Place desired amount of tofu mixture over the yogurt mixture.
- Top with my Cilantro Honey Lime Coleslaw.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
I use Gimme Some Oven’s recipe for taco seasoning. As mentioned earlier, I’ve been using this recipe for a while, I love it, and I tried to make my own but realized that her’s cannot be improved upon. 
As far as the amount of taco seasoning I put on the tofu, what I listed above is approximate. I tend to like a lot of seasoning, so I may use more or I may use less, depending on varying factors. Be sure to season, taste, and adjust to your own preferences!
