The Vegetarian Skewers at Harmony Cafe in DC.

A macrobiotic curried tempeh wrap at a spa cafe in L.A.

Answer 10

Our entire family, especially the kids, have always loved Tofu Tacos. Perfect served with vegetarian refried beans, green salad, and Spanish Bulghur (from Diet for a Small Planet) Tofu Tacos are really easy to make:

Corn Tortillas

Extra firm Tofu

Cooking Oil

Taco Seasoning (prepared dry mix of spices or your own)

Chopped veggie condiments (fresh tomato, shredded vegan cheddar cheese, lettuce, green onion)

Taco sauce, if desired

1. Be sure to have all other items in the meal prepared and the table set; these tacos are really quick and best fresh out of the skillet.

2. Heat oil in skillet.

3. Discard liquid from tofu and pat dry.

4. With fork, scrape the tofu into pan quickly. This will produce a "crumbled" look and texture.

5. Quickly sprinkle on a couple of tablespoons (or desired amt) of dry taco seasoning.

6. Constantly work the mixture back and forth with a spatula. Yes, the mixture will stick at first, but will quickly become unstuck as water leaves the tofu and comes into pan. This all takes just a few moments. The tofu will shrink and shrivel into a yummy crumbly mixture.

7. Fill taco shells with mixture.

8. Individually assemble & garnish with desired condiments at the table.

Enjoy! We've had many happy times around the table with this, most kid-requested meal at our house.
