Ingredients
Bacon Chickpeas
- 1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained (425 g)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15 mL)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free (15 mL)
- 2 tsp sriracha or favorite hot sauce (10 mL)
- 1 tsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Scrambled Tofu
- 1 16-oz block firm tofu, drained
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast (20 g)
- ¼ cup hummus (30 g)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp turmeric
Serving
- 6 medium flour or corn tortillas
- Garnish with avocado, parsley, lime juice, dairy-free yogurt, sliced radishes
Instructions
- Prepare Bacony Chickpeas: Stir together all Bacon Chickpea ingredients in a bowl. Transfer the mixture to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, jostling the pan frequently, for about 10 minutes until the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy.
- Make Scrambled Tofu: Meanwhile, drain and crumble the tofu by hand into chunks. Add the tofu along with nutritional yeast, hummus, salt, and turmeric to a large nonstick skillet (add a splash of oil if not nonstick). Cook over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring often until the tofu browns slightly.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the scrambled tofu and Bacony Chickpeas into the tortillas. Garnish with avocado, parsley, lime juice, dairy-free yogurt, sliced radishes, or your favorite toppings to serve.
Notes
- Store chickpeas and tofu separately to avoid sogginess; chickpeas keep up to 6 days, tofu up to 3 days in the fridge.
- Reheat chickpeas in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
- Reheat tofu on the stove or microwave to maintain texture.
