Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block firm tofu (pressed and crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Taco shells or tortillas
- Toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa, cilantro)
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it warm up.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the pan and cook until it is lightly browned, stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).
- Once browned, stir in cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even coating.

Notes
For extra flavor, let the tofu marinate in the spices for 30 minutes before cooking. Use fresh toppings like diced mango or pineapple for a sweet contrast.
