Mexi-Cal Tacos

| BY:
Mexi-Cal Tacos

If you’re not a fan of traditional ground beef tacos, chicken tacos, or fish tacos, then these Mexi-Cal Tacos are the perfect stand-in.

Tofu is a versatile and clever substitute for meat in any dish, but especially in a taco recipe — the tofu absorbs all the rich spice flavors that it’s cooked in so you can’t even tell it’s not meat!

These Mexi-Cal tacos are bursting with flavors like garlic, chili powder, jalapeno, and fresh lime.

And an array of vegetables, whole-wheat tortillas, and yogurt instead of sour cream means you can crush Taco Tuesday and stick with your healthy eating plan!
