Ingredients

  • 1 lb extra-firm tofu pressed and crumbled
  • 2 cups zucchini diced into small cubes
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning or a mix of cumin, chili powder, and paprika

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Make-Ahead: Prepare the vegetable base (onion, pepper, zucchini) ahead of time and store separately. Add the tofu and spices just before serving for the freshest taste. Variations: Add black beans, corn, or diced tomatoes for extra texture and flavor. Serve with avocado slices, salsa, or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
