9. Mexi-Cal Taco Recipe
Tofu has another starring role in our 9th most popular taco recipe — with good reason.
Tofu is a versatile and clever substitute for meat in any dish, but especially in a taco recipe — the tofu absorbs all the rich spice flavors that it’s cooked in so you can’t even tell it’s not meat.
Add in some of your favorite vegetables, whole-wheat tortillas, and yogurt instead of sour cream and you’ll be crushing Taco Tuesday and sticking to your healthy eating plan!
