After everyone was recommending these tacos, I thought I’d try them. They

looked too simple to be good, but they are GREAT!

 

They are even better the next day. I made my own salsa to go into them

(simple) and I can’t wait to pass the recipe on.

 

 

 

Notes: I drained and froze the tofu first. Thawed it, then squeezed the

liquid out by wrapping the tofu in a towel and placing a saucepan with the

heavy rock in it on the top! It made the tofu a wonderful crumbly texture.

 

 

 

The salsa I made to go into the tacos is very easy:

 

3 med tomatoes

 

½ a yellow pepper

 

1 scallions

 

1 crushed garlic

 

1 chopped jalapeño or one red pepper (the long ones that look like my pepper

Christmas lights!). When I make the salsa with the red pepper I don’t chop

it, I just open it, scoop out the seeds and add it for flavor. I don’t do

really hot!!

 

Cilantro to taste, chopped

 

Add the juice of one lime

 

A splash of apple cider vinegar

 

 

 

That’s it…let set for a while, it’ wonderful in everything. I even had it

in a grilled cheese sandwich last week and it was wonderful.
