jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano pepper

💰Cheaper: bell pepper

Serrano peppers provide a similar heat level.

corn tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: flour tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber while flour tortillas are more affordable.

Press extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture for 15-20 minutes, preferably up to an hour for best results.

Cut the pressed tofu into planks and then into pieces.

Make the marinade by combining chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, oregano leaves, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, tomato paste, garlic, canola oil, and apple cider vinegar in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add a little olive oil until shimmering.

Season tofu pieces with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet, cooking until golden brown and crispy.

Remove tofu from the skillet and pour the marinade over it while warm, tossing to coat.

Let the tofu marinate for about 15 minutes.

Add a little oil back to the skillet, heat it, and then return the marinated tofu to the pan, breaking it up to resemble ground meat.

Cook until the tofu is crispy and well-coated with the sauce.
