Tofu Crumble and Black Bean Tacos
Makes 6 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 10-Ounce Blocks Super Firm Tofu (see notes)
- 1/4 Cup Taco Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce, Tamari, or Liquid Aminos
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 15 ounce Can Black Beans, drained & rinsed
- To Serve: Tortillas or Taco Shells, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Vegan Sour Cream, Red Pepper Flakes, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using extra firm tofu instead of super firm, press the tofu using a tofu press or place it under a heavy object for at least 10 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, use your hands to crumble tofu into small pieces.
- Add the soy sauce and taco seasoning, and toss to combine.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the tofu and toss again.
- Spread the tofu on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and add the black beans. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite taco fixings. Enjoy!
RECIPE NOTES
I used Hodo tofu which does not require any pressing. You can also make these tacos with a regular 14-ounce block of extra firm tofu—you can press it while you heat up the oven, or simply follow the recipe as written—your tacos may have a slightly softer texture.
