Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 block firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Drain the tofu block and press it between paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into small, uneven pieces resembling scrambled eggs.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Cook the tofu mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and starts to develop a slightly crispy exterior.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to warm and release their juices.
- While the tofu is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame, turning them frequently to prevent burning.
- To assemble the tacos, place a warm tortilla on a plate and spoon the tofu migas mixture into the center of each tortilla.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately while the tofu and tortillas are still hot.
Tips
- Pressing the Tofu: Make sure to press the tofu well to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a firmer texture that mimics scrambled eggs, allowing the tofu to absorb the spices better.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables. Zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach can add an extra layer of flavor and nutrition to your migas.
- Spice It Up: Adjust the level of cumin and chili powder to suit your taste. If you like it spicy, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
- Warm Tortillas: For the best flavor and texture, warm your corn tortillas on a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame. This enhances their natural flavor and makes them pliable for filling.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skip the fresh cilantro! It adds a refreshing touch that balances the richness of the tofu and spices. Consider adding avocado slices or a squeeze of lime for an extra zing.
- Make it a Meal: Serve your tacos with a side of black beans or a fresh salad to create a complete and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
