30 Minute Crumbled Tofu Vegan Tacos

Print Recipe
Did someone say tacos?? These incredible crumbled tofu vegan tacos are SO easy to make because the tofu crumbles are baked, hands off, on a sheet pan for the perfect texture. They’re low FODMAP thanks to an easy homemade taco seasoning blend, high in protein and make a great vegan taco salad too.

Ingredients

Tofu Crumbles

  • 12 ounces extra firm tofu patted dry with paper towel
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or gluten free tamari
  • 2 tablespoons low FODMAP taco seasoning or regular, if you're not low FODMAP!
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Pickled Jalapeño Slaw

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapeño slices chopped (I used Mezzetta "tamed" slices)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan mayo
  • pinch salt
  • squeeze fresh lime juice

Spicy Mayo

  • ¼ cup vegan mayo or plain yogurt
  • 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce garlic free, I use Valentina's Extra Hot
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For Serving

  • 8 small (6 inch/15 cm) tortillas or 12 x 4 inch//10 cm tortillas. Gluten free corn tortillas for low FODMAP friends!
Imperial - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃). Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, taco seasoning and tamari until smooth. Crumble the tofu into the sauce mixture and using a fork or your hands, work the mixture into tofu so it's evenly coated.
  • Spread the tofu onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Stir, then bake for 5-10 more, less for a more tender crumble and more for a crispy/chewy crumble (that's what I do!).
  • While the tofu crumbles are baking, mix the slaw ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl, mix the spicy mayo ingredients together.
  • Serve the taco crumbles with tortillas, topped with slaw and spicy mayo.

Notes

Prefer a taco salad? Quadruple the slaw recipe, then use the slaw as the base of the salad. Top with tofu crumbles, spicy mayo and - bonus! - crushed tortilla chips.
