Servings: 12 tacos
Calories: 168kcal
Ingredients
- 14 ounces firm tofu I like Trader Joes high protein tofu
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce/coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ cup salsa
- 15 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 12 tortillas
- desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese, avocado etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a dry dish towel. With a separate towel or paper towels, pat the tofu dry. Using your fingers, crumble the tofu over the dish towel on the baking sheet making sure it is spread out. Allow to sit out and "dry" while you prepare the marinade.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, tamari and spices (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika and salt). Stir to combine.
- Transfer the tofu from the towel to the bowl with the spices. Stir until evenly coated.
- To the bowl, add the salsa, beans and nutritional yeast. Stir to combine. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper then distribute the tofu mixture over top. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring half way through.
- Remove tofu mixture from the oven and serve warm with tortillas and desired toppings, and enjoy!
