Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 slices Vegan bacon slices
- 8 pieces Taco shells
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork until it resembles scrambled eggs.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, and black salt. This will be the seasoning for the tofu scramble.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and the seasoning mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is hot and slightly golden. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4
In another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegan bacon slices in a single layer and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side, or according to package instructions.
Step 5
While the tofu scramble and bacon are cooking, prep the taco toppings. Dice the cherry tomatoes, peel and slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.
Step 6
Warm the taco shells in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side or until they're lightly toasted and pliable.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, fill each taco shell with a generous serving of tofu scramble and two slices of crispy vegan bacon. Top with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Step 8
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the assembled tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan bacon and egg tacos!
