Instructions
- Prepare tofu: Drain tofu and blot dry with paper towels. Cut tofu crosswise into ½-inch thick slices. Place a double layer of paper towels on a cutting board and lay the tofu slices in a single layer on top of it. Top with another double layer of paper towels and lay another cutting board or baking sheet on top. Grab a few cans or other heavy items from your pantry and place them on top to weigh down the tofu. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Make salsa: While the tofu is being pressed, Mix all of the salsa ingredients in a large bowl. Let sit so the flavors combine while you cook the taco filling.
- Prepare taco filling: Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over moderate heat. Remove paper towels from tofu and cut each piece into ½-inch cubes. Place tofu in the hot oil and season with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown on all sides.
- Add drained black beans and taco seasoning to the tofu and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, another 3-4 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to a sauce on the beans and tofu. Remove from heat.
- To serve: Place a few scoops of the tofu mixture in each taco boat and top with salsa. Garnish with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
