Directions
1. Over a medium heat, fry the tofu, garlic and onion in the oil in a large skillet until golden brown.

2. Add the kidney beans, dry spices, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and half the tomato to the skillet and stir. Cook for 3 minutes.

3. Stir in the cilantro.

4. Serve the tofu mixture in whole wheat tortillas, topped with avocado, tomato, lettuce, and yogurt.

Suggestion: I usually create a large batch of the dry spices to keep on hand. Just quadruple the dry spices and store in an air tight jar. For this recipe, I then use 1.5-2 tsp. of the taco spices mixture.
