Easy Tofu Tacos (Tex-mex and Indian fusion)

These Smoky Tofu Tacos are a prime example of fusion food – bursting with Tex Mex and Indian flavors and packed with protein and fiber from tofu and black beans, and they are ready in less than 30 minutes! They are my quick go to weeknight meal.

These easy tofu Tacos are here to liven up your Taco Tuesday. This is one of the meals that I put together in a jiffy one night and it was hit! It stuck around for future quick meals.

For the tofu seasoning, I use a combination of Mexican and Indian spices and also add some fenugreek and black pepper which makes the tofu taste just amazing. You can use this tofu in many ways, add to wraps, burrito or as a side or make a naan pizza with it.

Along with a mix of classic fajitas veggies, I went with another Mexican addition: homemade quick refried black beans, which are not only delicious but also add additional protein and fiber. I change these up with different beans or lentils. As well as change up the flavor with Cajun spices or curry powder.

They are a quick grab whatever flavors you like and put them together tacos! Try them!

These tofu tacos are lightly spicy, and packed with protein and fiber, and they are ready in less than 30 minutes. The tofu is pressed before we fry it and gets a wonderfully satisfying pleasing texture.

If you’re not huge on tacos, but like the sound of the filling, you can use the filling in all kinds of ways. Make a burrito or wrap, make tostadas, make a bowl with a side of cilantro lime rice or quinoa. Or make quesadillas!

Currently, I am obsessed with this Baked Spiced Rice Casserole aka. Tawa Pulao! Such an easy recipe that uses mostly pantry staples and can be made with frozen veggies, canned veggies or fresh ones. Use whatever you like and have available.

As for the spices – I know – the list is long but if you don’t have some of them, you can just use more of the others. Curry powder would be a great substitute for garam masala and paprika or cayenne pepper can be used intead of chili powder.
