How To Make veggie tacos
-
Step 1Heat olive oil in a large skillet, medium-high heat.
-
Step 2When oil is hot, add tofu, chili powder, half of the salt, and half of the pepper. Cook until nice and brown, about 6-7 minutes.
-
Step 3While the tofu is cooking, add sunflower nuts to the skillet.
-
Step 4Add corn to tofu mixture and cook until heated thoroughly, around 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper, rice (if you choose to include it), and remaining salt/pepper, cooking for another 5 minutes or so, until the peppers are slightly tender.
-
Step 5When everything in the skillet is cooked, heat the tortillas (either in a separate skillet or microwave). Drop a bit of salsa to an open tortilla, add some crumbled cheese, and a large spoonful of the veggie/tofu mixture. Top with fresh spinach. Fold and eat!
-
Step 6Do the same with the remaining tortillas for a simple and pretty darn healthy veggie dinner!
