Avocado, Mango, Chili, Lime Tofu Tacos - Oil-free, Vegan & Gluten-Free

This is an easy less than 30-minute recipe that is whole food plant-based, oil-free, vegan and gluten-free, that still packs tons of flavor.  Crumbling the tofu, coating it with spices and cooking it in a skillet for 5 minutes, infuses the tofu tacos with wonderful flavor from the spices.  Here we are seasoning the tofu simply with prepared chili powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt.  You may want to experiment with other spices like smoked paprika, chipotle powder, chili lime seasoning etc.

How to make tofu tacos

While the tofu is cooking in the skillet, prepare your toppings.  Today we choose to top our tofu tacos with:

• shredded carrots
• shredded jicama
• fresh diced mango
• quick pickled onions
• cilantro
• lime  
• fresh sliced avocado

Other topping options for these tofu tacos may include:

• Fresh or grilled pineapple
• Guacamole
• Shredded Cabbage
• Pickled fennel

Once your toppings are ready you can start preparing the tofu. We have found that the best way to cook tofu to make it look like meat and to infuse impart the most flavor is to finely crumble it and add spices.  You can then cook it in a pan or bake it in the oven.  Tofu can also be eaten raw, but we prefer to cook it a bit.

Tofu is basically tasteless, the good thing about that is that is a blank canvas and it will absorb any spices or sauce that you may add to it.

You can be as creative as you want with these tofu tacos, for a really quick dinner prepare the onions and tofu ahead of time and these tofu tacos will come together in a flash. Enjoy!
