Crispy Tofu Crumbles

A versatile, easy and addictive tofu recipe that's especially good in tacos & burritos.

I never thought I’d describe tofu as addictive, but this tofu has so much flavor it’s hard to make a batch without eating half of the tofu before it gets to the dinner table.

I keep sneaking one little morsel of tofu out of the pan, then another and another. The little bits of tofu and onion are crispy and salty with just a hint of sweet and smoky flavor.

If you haven’t previously loved tofu, I’m willing to bet that this recipe will change your mind.

Crumbling tofu into tiny bits makes it taste more flavorful because you avoid the typical tofu situation of flavor on the outside and a spongy, flavorless middle.

This tofu is flavored all the way through.

The little bits of tofu crisp up nicely in a pan and look surprisingly like ground meat. Tofu tacos or burritos have become one of my family’s favorite vegetarian meals. Pile the tofu crumbles in a tortilla, then add shredded cabbage, lime, sour cream, hot sauce…I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!

You can also serve tofu crumbles over nachos, rice, noodles, salad, and probably a half-dozen other ways I haven’t thought of yet.
