Spicy Vegetarian Tofu Tacos

July 25, 2017 by Lindsay 5 Comments

Spicy Vegetarian Tofu Tacos

Love these tasty low carb and gluten free Spicy Vegetarian Tofu Tacos! It’s a quick and easy recipe for your weeknight dinners!

Ok ok ok I know tofu isn’t a traditional taco filling but hear me out. I don’t eat too much tofu, but when I do, this is one of my absolute favorite ways. I’ve been making this recipe for what seems like years.

I love how the spicy tofu crumbles compliment the creamy goat cheese. You guys will love this fun new taco recipe! So here’s what you want to do to make Spicy Vegetarian Tofu Tacos:

Sautรฉ the bell pepper strips in olive oil over medium high heat. Continue to cook until reduced and softened. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and set aside.

Add crumbled tofu to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until it’s warmed through and browns up a bit, about 4 minutes. Add an additional tablespoon of oil if needed.

Add the chili powder, cumin, and sea salt and mix until the tofu is completely coated with the spices.

On each tortilla, scoop tofu mixture. Top with the peppers, onion, goat cheese and serve with salsa and avocado if desired!

I didn’t include the wraps in the above ingredients section because it didn’t take into account low carb tortillas and totally threw off the carb count. Make sure to add in your low carb tortilla wrap carbs! This recipe calls for 4 – 6 tortillas.
