Follow The Directions
01
Step
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, serrano pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly browned (approximately 8-10 minutes).
02
Step
Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and stir to coat with the onion mixture.
03
Step
Stir in the cilantro stems, 1/4 package of taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of coriander. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned (about 5 minutes). The spices should become fragrant.
04
Step
Gently fold in the mango chunks and the remaining 1/4 package of taco seasoning. Cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the mango to soften slightly and the flavors to meld.
05
Step
Add a pinch of chili powder and salt to taste. Season with additional cumin and coriander as desired.
06
Step
Simmer the tofu-mango mixture until most of the liquid has evaporated, creating a slightly thickened sauce (about 10 minutes).
07
Step
Stir in the chopped cilantro leaves during the last minute of cooking.
08
Step
Serve the mango tofu filling in warm tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
Pressing the tofu is crucial for removing excess moisture and allowing it to absorb the flavors of the spices.
Adjust the amount of serrano pepper based on your preferred spice level. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mangos for varying sweetness and textures.
This filling is delicious with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and your favorite hot sauce.
Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving or enjoy cold as a salsa.
