Ingredients

Shredded Tofu Meat

  • 14.5 oz extra-firm tofu patted dry
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

For Serving

  • 8-10 small corn or flour tortillas
  • toppings of choice avocado, vegan sour cream, vegan cheese shreds, pickled red onion, cilantro, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, salsa

Instructions

  • Prepare pan and oven - Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Grate the tofu - Pat the tofu dry and squeeze out any excess water, but you don't need to press the tofu (it will dry out as it bakes). Grate the tofu using a large cheese grater. Set aside while you make the sauce.
  • Make the sauce and mix with tofu - In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the shredded tofu and mix well.
  • Bake the tofu - Spread the coated tofu shreds evenly onto the parchment lined pan. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then give it a little stir and bake for 15-20 more minutes. The tofu should be crispy in some places, but not burned. It should be quite dried out and not watery.
  • Serve with toppings of choice - Serve in corn or flour tortillas with any toppings you like.
