Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 295kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
- 6 small corn tortillas sliced into strips
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 jalapeno stemmed and sliced
- 1 12 oz package silken firm tofu, drained
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 tsp ground cumin
- 1/3 cup mild or medium salsa
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro leaves and stems
- 1 12-count package Old El Paso™ Mini Taco Boats, warmed
- Optional Toppings: pickled jalapenos pickled red onion, chopped cilantro, salsa, lime wedges
Instructions
- Heat two tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced corn tortilla strips and fry until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the crispy tortilla strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and allow to heat. Add the yellow onion and jalapeno; sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft.
- Add the block of tofu to the pan. Use the back of a wooden spoon to break the tofu up into small crumbles. Stir in the nutritional yeast (if using), paprika, and cumin.
- Return the crispy tortilla strips to the pan, along with the salsa and minced cilantro. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid has absorbed and the tortillas are soft.
- Transfer the mixture to a warm serving plate and serve alongside the warm mini taco boats and garnishes.
Notes
Today's recipe is sponsored by the wonderful people over at Old El Paso.
If you prefer a softer consistency, use soft silken tofu in place of firm tofu.
Add a crunchy texture to the tacos by spritzing the mini taco boats with olive oil and toasting in the oven for 2-3 minutes at 325°F (163°C).
To store Vegan Vigas, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. While freezing is possible, it may alter the texture of the tortillas and tofu, making them less enjoyable upon reheating.
If you need to reheat the dish, do so gently in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, which helps maintain some of the original texture. Microwaving is quicker but can make the tortillas soggy, so reheating on the stove is recommended for best results.
