It’s taco night, starring only plants. The combination of saucy chipotle pepper and powdered smoked paprika infuses the meaty tofu crumbles with an unmistakable smoky essence. The sautéed mushrooms are an umami-packed alternative to standard salsa and there will be extra tofu filling for anyone with a bigger appetite!
