These quick vegan tacos, filled with a spicy tofu filling, make a perfect weeknight dinner. To keep them vegan, top them with shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo and guacamole. For vegetarians, add crumbled queso fresco.

Ingredients

  • 1tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (14- to 16-ounce) block extra-firm tofu, patted dry and cut into ½-inch pieces

  1. Combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add tofu and toss to coat. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add tofu; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add beans; cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
