image from realsimple.com
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-in. chunks
1 14-oz. package extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, and crumbled
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 10-oz. package frozen corn, thawed
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
8 small flour tortillas, warmed
¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¾ cup store-bought refrigerated salsa
Lime wedges, for serving
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sweet potatoes and cook until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add ⅓ cup water, cover, and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
Uncover and add tofu, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is browned, about 5 minutes.
Add corn and lime juice. Cook, tossing, until warm, about 3 minutes. Fill tortillas with tofu mixture; top with cheese and salsa. Serve tacos with lime wedges.
