I originally created this recipe to use in chili as a vegan substitute, but it turned out so great that I started using the same recipe for taco fillings. Because it is high in protein and fiber, this is my favorite lunch during summer days. It’s easy, light, filling and healthy. This is the best meat substitute for Taco Tuesdays or Meatless Mondays. My favorite part of this recipe is the smoked paprika;  it adds a good flavor to the tofu and also complements the rest of the ingredients.

These tofu taco crumbles are super easy and take only a few minutes to make. They’ll go well with most any of your favorite toppings. I recommend trying this with guacamole and pico de gallo!
