Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the peppers and onions into even strips. Tear or cut the tofu into bite-sized chunks.

2. Season and Toss
In a large bowl, combine tofu, peppers, onions, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

3. Bake
Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and tofu is slightly crisp. If using frozen veggies, add an extra 5 minutes.

4. Serve
Warm your tortillas and fill them with the roasted tofu and veggies. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • Even Slices: Cutting vegetables into uniform strips helps them cook evenly.
