Shredded Tofu Tacos
If you’ve never tried shredding tofu then you are IN FOR A TREAT! These Shredded Tofu Tacos are completely VEGAN, packed with flavor and your new favorite meat substitute for tacos! I was skeptical at first that this would work. I worried that the tofu would fall apart and be too difficult to grate but it actually works so well! The final product really mimics shredded chicken and I really love that!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Press your tofu to release excess moisture. I only press mine for about 5 minutes because the cooking process really helps release the moisture in this recipe as well.
- Step 2
Shred the tofu using the large grate of a box grater. I like to break the block in half to make it easier to hold.
- Step 3
Place the shreds in a large bowl and sprinkle with the taco seasoning and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss so that the tofu is fully covered in the seasoning.
- Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add in the tofu shreds and spread into an even layer in the skillet. Let cook, untouched, for about 3 minutes. Then continue to cook for 5 more minutes, tossing every few minutes. Leaving it undisturbed for a couple minutes helps the tofu get a little crispy around the edges.
- Step 5
Stir in the salsa and mix to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Remove from the heat and ENJOY as you would other taco “meat”.
- Step 6
ENJOY!
