tofu taco

lately a lot of experiments happening with tofu!!!
Sounds like what would i be doing actually but turns out tofu is a fun food condiment...i put it in that category as it got me thru the entire last week.
Lovely, i shall share my experiments with all of you.

So let's get down to the business:
Ingredients:
8 ounce firm organic ( extra rich in protein tofu )
1/2 shallot or onion finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped mushroom
1 cup beans of your choice ( cooked)
1 cup salsa ( spicy i prefer, to kick up the flavor)
lettuce chopped 1/2 cup
1 avocado finely minced
Salt to taste
teaspoon of cayenne pepper,
teaspoon of cumin
teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic minced
oil to cook
cilantro to garnish
yogurt to top it with


method:
heat the pan, put some oil in it and add onions or shallot .
cook until they turn translucent ,add crumbled tofu - let it cook for atleast two minutes then add mushroom at this point. let it cook, do not stir them too much they will become very tough, do not salt them yet.
once they start to loose water salt them, add garlic add beans. add the cumin powder, cayenne pepper and black pepper.
Leave the mixture on the heat for another minute to simmer.
When the mixture cools start assembling your taco.
Warm your choice of tortilla, spread a layer of the vegetable - bean mixture, top it with salsa, avocado lettuce and cilantro. top it with yogurt.

Unfortunately i do not have any picture to share because we ate it up all so quick and we finished it all!!
But promise u next time , i will get a snap shot of it...

Enjoy
