Tofu Beef Recipe Notes
These Tofu Beef Crumbles are actually insanely good. I make them to use in my Fajita Bowl recipe. and they really mimic the texture of cooked ground beef. They are also great in  tacos, taco salads, in a layered dip, in pasta sauces, soups or anywhere else you can think of! A block of tofu doesn't really go too far once you make this. I easily ate half a batch (1/2 block tofu) on my salad. So go ahead and double or triple the batch so you have lots. I usually do. Serving size depends how you are going to use it! 

The tofu is drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with nutritional yeast, soy sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder & onion powder. Then it gets baked in the oven until browned and chewy in texture.

Taco Tofu "Beef" Easy Steps

1. Simply crumble tofu into a bowl with your hands until you have some bigger chunks and some smaller chunks. Add the rest of the spices, olive oil and soy sauce.

2. Mix everything together!

3. Spread evenly onto a parchment lined baking sheet

4. Bake at 400 F until the smaller pieces are darker and seem crispy and the larger chunks are firm and chewy. Usually about 30 minutes depending how large of a batch you are making and how large of a pan you are using, I toss two or three times as they cook.
