Equipment

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic minced
½ yellow onion diced or minced
375 gram extra firm tofu 1 block
3 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp chilli powder adjust to taste if desired
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
¼ cup tomato sauce

To assemble

8 corn tortillas

Instructions

First, grate the tofu using a cheese grater. Use the largest grater possible to do this. Alternatively, crumble with your hands to make a "ground meat" consistency.
In a pan over medium heat, add the onion and a drop of oil if using. Saute until translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and tofu and saute until the tofu becomes a little bit browned, approximately 3 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, soy sauce and spices. Stir until the tofu is coated in the sauce and spices and begins to brown even more, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the sweet chili sauce, balsamic vinegar and tomato sauce. Stir until the tofu is coated, and continue to brown the mixture to your desired consistency.
Serve in the corn tortillas with your taco toppings of choice
