Make It Easy On Yourself Tip: You can buy the taco seasoning, green chilies, beans, guacamole, and corn tortillas. Just be sure to check the ingredients to make sure they pass the kitchen test. If you’re feeling more ambitious, pick one or all of those to make from scratch.

Ingredients
12ouncesextra-firm tofudrained
1tablespoonolive oil
2-4tablespoonstaco seasoning
2-3tablespoonsdiced green chilies
1 15-ouncecan black or pinto beansdrained and rinsed (or homemade, about 1 1/2 cups)
salt and pepper to taste
tortillas
salsa
guacamole
thinly sliced red cabbage
Instructions
Place a large frying pan over medium heat, and drizzle a little olive oil over the cooking surface of the pan. With your hands, crumble the tofu into the pan, and saute until warm or slightly browned.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the tofu, add chilies, and the beans. Stir, and taste. Add more taco seasoning and salt and pepper if needed. (Like a celebrity chef once lamented, we don’t season our food enough. So “make it rain” when seasoning, that’s what makes it taste good!)
To assemble each taco, take a tortilla and add some tofu/bean mix, a little salsa, guacamole and lots of cabbage.
