I was first attracted to this recipe because I'm a big Beatles fan, and secondly because it's a good vegan recipe. Pretty easy to make, and delicious!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Saute the onion, garlic and bell pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add tofu, chili powder, cumin, oregano and soy sauce.
3

really great recipe! I added a little lime juice as well, which cut the spice a little. I will definitely be making it again!

Surprisingly filling and delicious for how simple it is. I added a can of kidney beans for a little more sustenance and found that it produced about 10 tacos. I also added 1 tbsp. of nutritional yeast and was pleased with the results. Will definitely make again!

Ok, I admit, I didn't think this was going to go over big with my family..but they loved it! My 6yr old asked for seconds and that is something. This is my first time making a tofu dish and I will definitely have to experiment more. Thanks!

Gawsh, we need a 10-star reviewing system! This is a fantastic recipe! The tofu did not taste tofu-ey at all, and my sister thought that I'd used panir! I scaled it to 4 servings, and used 1/4 cup of tomato paste dissolved in 1/3 cup water for the tomato sauce. I used a little less of chili powder since I don't like spicy food. The filling was great even in the plain wheat rotis that we make. Thanks Mirjam, I LOVE this one!
