Crumbled extra-firm tofu is a great stand-in for ground beef for a meatless meal. This vegan substitute is perfect in lasagna, tacos, soup and more. We boost the flavor with garlic powder, paprika and tamari, but feel free to add your own flavorings.

I've made this recipe a couple of times now and really love how versatile and easy it is. I've made it as is and added to dan dan noodles and I've also tweaked the seasoning to make tacos. It's great. Definitely recommend using a nonstick so the tofu doesn't stick to the pan.

Good meat alternative to use with tostadas, tacos and such. Used taco seasoning from Pensey's along with garlic powder. Did not use paprika.
