Description

Make these easy, delicious vegan, gluten-free tacos with a savory, spicy tofu mushroom filling and all the toppings in just 20 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale

Tofu Mushroom Taco Filling: 

  • 8 ounces extra firm tofu, drained and pressed for best results
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1½ cups finely chopped mushrooms (e.g., white, baby portobello)
  • 2 green onions, white and green parts, diced
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons prepared salsa, plus 1/2 cup for serving
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon reduced sodium, gluten-free soy sauce

Taco Fillings: 

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (or 1¾ cups cooked)
  • 2 cups packed leafy greens
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced (or 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved)
  • 1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 8 pieces
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese, optional
  • 1/2 cup plant-based sour cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Shred the tofu with a grater or in a food processor (with shredding attachment).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the shredded tofu, mushrooms, green onions, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the salsa, taco seasoning, and soy sauce. Sauté for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the black beans in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warm.
  5. Arrange the greens, tomatoes, and avocado on a platter.
  6. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a hot skillet for 30 seconds.
  7. To assemble the tacos: Fill each tortilla with about ¼ cup of the tofu-mushroom mixture, ¼ cup of black beans, ¼ cup of greens, 3 tablespoons chopped tomato, 1 slice of avocado, 2 tablespoons of plant-based cheese, a dollop of plant-based sour cream (if desired), and 1 tablespoon of salsa.

Notes

Store the leftover taco filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat for a few minutes in the microwave or a small skillet and serve with the remaining ingredients, as suggested.
