Correction to Mushroom & Tofu Tacos

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

I'm so sorry. I forgot something when I sent you my recipe for Mushroom &

Tofu Tacos. The reason I forgot it was because I FORGOT TO SERVE IT LAST

NIGHT! However, it really does belong in the recipe, so I'm reposting it

correctly. It's not exactly what we ate last night, but it's what SHOULD

have been there!

 

 

Mushroom & Tofu Tacos

 

Ingredients

1 large box (24 oz.) white mushrooms, sliced

1 box light (low-fat) firm tofu, cut into small cubes

2 packages taco mix

water

cooking spray

dry white wine

Hard taco shells or tortilla wraps (we used both)

2 avocados, sliced (or guacamole, if you prefer)

1 can black olives, sliced (optional)

1 container reduced fat sour cream

1 jar corn, bean, & tomato salsa (or your favorite salsa)

several sheets of romaine lettuce, shredded

CHEDDAR & MOZZARELLA CHEESE, SHREDDED (VEGAN CHEESE IS FINE, TOO)

 

Lightly saute the mushrooms and tofu with the cooking spray and wine.

Then, just pretend that the mixture is meat and follow the directions on the

back of the taco mix package. Sprinkle on the mix, add some water, and stir

until it thickens up.

 

The rest is simple (as if the beginning was difficult LOL). Just stuff

the hard or soft tacos with the mushroom & tofu mixture, avocado slices,

olive slices, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, AND CHEESE!

 

Side dishes:

Crudities:

1 small bag Baby carrots

10 oz box of fresh mushrooms, Quartered, with the stems left on for

2 cucumbers, peeled and cut into rods maybe 4 inches long

dressing, but you could used any

dipping sauces that you prefer)

 

Beans & Mushrooms:

1 can fat free refried beans

1 can black beans, drained

1 can kernel corn, drained

10 oz. box of mushrooms, sliced

 

Mix it all together. Heat and serve.

2 mangos, cut up

1 bag of seedless green grapes, grapes pulled off the vines

4 kiwis, peeled and sliced

1 pineapple, cut into chunks

 

Mix it all together and serve. We ate the leftover fruit salad for

breakfast with cottage cheese. Yum!
