Tofu Nachos

 

This recipe comes from The Get Healthy, Go Vegan cookbook co written by Neal Barnard. This is so tasty. I had to bump up the seasonings quite a bit. He seems to like things more on the bland side I find. I added the chipotle powder too because I just love the smokey flavour it adds to recipes. 

1/2 cup onion, chopped

2 tsp garlic, minced

1 large red pepper, diced (optional)

1 Tbsp oil

1 container firm tofu (420g) drained/pressed *then crumbled

2 Tbsp regular chili powder

1 tsp chipotle chili powder

2 Tbsp nutritional yeast

1/2 tsp each of cumin and oregano

2 Tbsp soy sauce (gluten free)

3/4 cup tomato sauce

tortilla chips

green onions (optional topping)

Sauté the onion, garlic and bell pepper in oil for 4 minutes then add remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce, tortilla chips and condiments. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the tomato sauce and simmer over low heat until mixture is fairly dry. Warm your tortilla chips in oven for a few minutes then add your tofu mixture and green onions. Serves 4
