Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet extra protein tofu (extra firm will do)
- 1/2 cup of vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1–2 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional, spicy)
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (204 C).
- Press the tofu dry, and crumble it with your hands. It should look like meat.
- Drizzle the cookie sheet or line with parchment paper and spread the crumbled tofu evenly throughout.
- Bake the tofu for 7-8 minutes, take it out and flip / mix, put back for another 7-8 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth, avocado oil, nutritional yeast, and all other spices to a mixing bowl. Beat well.
- Once the tofu has baked for 14-16 minutes, remove it and dip it into the mixture inside the mixing bowl. Incorporate well.
- Place the seasoned tofu back on the baking sheet and bake for another 8-10 minutes.
- Take the tofu out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- Once the tofu is a little cold, start assembling your flutes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of tofu filling to each and roll. If you use corn tortillas, I suggest heating them on a griddle before rolling them because they tend to break.
- Add your flutes to a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or all desired texture.
- Serve with toppings like guacamole, salsa, and vegan cream cheese.
Fried option:
- Follow steps 1 through 9.
- Add about 1/4 cup of oil to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add about 4-5 flutes to the oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel.
- Repeat until all the flutes are fried.
Stovetop tofu option:
