Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. olive oil or margarine
- 1/2 yellow or white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. soy sauce (or a gluten-free substitute if needed)
- 1 12-oz container firm or extra firm tofu, drained and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 bell pepper, any color, diced
- 3/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 green onions, diced.
- 2 tomatoes, chopped.
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger.
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder.
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper.
- Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt or kosher salt and fresh ground pepper is best).
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
- 1 teaspoon cumin.
- 8 corn tortillas.
- Shredded lettuce.
- Chopped tomatoes.
- Lime juice.
- Avocado slices.
- Chopped cilantro.
- Guacamole.
- Del Molcajete Hot Sauce Chilpotle, to taste.
Preparation
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with a few layers of paper towels. Drain the package of tofu and lay the tofu on the paper towels. Layer some more paper towels on top of the tofu, and then place something heavy on top, like a cast iron skillet and/or heavy cans. Press the tofu for 30 minutes and then cut into slices.
- Add the oil to a skillet and pre-heat over medium heat. Add the tofu slices, and as it starts to cook, use a spatula or wooden spoon to break it apart to scramble it.
- In a small bowl, mix together the spices and salt. Add to the skillet and stir until the tofu is well coated. Let it cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring a few times so it doesn’t burn on, but not over stirring.
- Stir in the onion and peppers and cook until tender, or about 5 minutes.
- As the scramble is cooking, warm your corn tortillas in the oven, microwave or on the stove top.
- Fill up the tortillas with the scramble, add desired toppings and enjoy!
