Saucy + Spiced-Right Mushroom-Tofu Tacos Recipe Is Only $1.93 A Serving
No one will miss the meat with these pockets drizzled with a quick-prep cheese sauce
Tofu is simply soy milk curds pressed into blocks of varying firmness from silken to extra-firm. It’s a complete protein and a good source of calcium and iron, making it a heart-healthy alternative to animal proteins. Trouble is it has a reputation for being boring or bland. That’s why I love this Mushroom-Tofu Tacos recipe. It’s loaded with flavor and other good-for-you ingredients. Best of all, at only $1.93 per serving, it’s easy on your wallet.
Tofu takes on other flavors beautifully. Peppers are loaded with antioxidants and umami-rich mushrooms are high in fiber. We sauté them together, then add tofu cubes and chili powder. Serve it up over peppery arugula and top it with creamy avocado and crisp radishes. Our simple cream sauce comes together with milk, cayenne pepper and cheddar. The easy-prep drizzle adds the finishing touch to this delicious dish. Cook along with our video then let us know what you think.
