Talking Tofu Tacos

If your a vegetarian and you miss being able to eat some of your fav things, or even just a health nut. Here is a good recipe for one of the things i miss the most after becoming a strict vegetarian. When i make them i dont use cheese.

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
1 (16 ounce) package garden herb tofu, crumbled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
10 medium taco shells, heated
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup salsa



DIRECTIONS
Over a medium heat fry the tofu, oil, garlic and onion in a large skillet for 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, salt, lime juice and tomato sauce to the skillet and stir. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the cilantro. Spoon mixture in a serving bowl.
Spoon the tofu mixture into taco shells. Top the mixture with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, Cheddar cheese and salsa.
