Who needs coffee when you’ve got a taco that wakes up your soul?
Ingredients
(Makes 2 tacos):
- 1/2 block extra-firm tofu, crumbled
- 1/2 tsp turmeric (for color and anti-inflammatory power)
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- Pinch of chili powder (or cayenne if you’re bold)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (leave seeds for kick!)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- Handful of fresh spinach or kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed

Quick Instructions

- Add crumbled tofu, turmeric, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4-5 mins until slightly browned.
- Toss in black beans and greens. Cook until spinach is wilted and beans are heated through.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
- Warm up your corn tortillas on a skillet or open flame for that authentic edge.
