Jump To Recipe Jump To Video Print Recipe

The Vegan Taco recipe you need for Taco Tuesdays!! This tofu taco meat is one of my favorite meatless meats for tacos and burritos; it goes amazing with my creamy avocado cilantro sauce (which I literally use for everything). If you’re not a big fan of tofu, then you can use the same recipe for tempeh, minced soya chunks, or even minced cauliflower.





Do I need to press the tofu?

For this particular recipe, you don’t have to press the tofu. BUT, you should remove the tofu from the package and pat it dry a couple of times before you crumble it with your hands.





Can I use something other than tofu?

Absolutely, you don’t only have to use tofu to enjoy this recipe. You can sub the tofu with crumbled tempeh, soya chunks, or even cauliflower.





Stove top or bake the tofu?

I’ve tried both baking the tofu crumble and roasting it on stove top, and to really get that slightly crispy outer layer of the tofu it’s best to bake it. If you want the tofu even crispier then you can press it before crumbling or you can just broil the tofu on high for about 10 minutes after baking.
