Tofu Taco's

In my quest to loose weight ( 45lbs lost to date). I have taken up Tofu. I used to think tofu was the nasty stuff that vegetarians ate because they couldn't have the good stuff like bacon. But it turns out Tofu is a great thing. Lots of different ways to prepare it. It can be crispy or soft, fried, baked or used in a soup. I made salad dressing, pudding and meatloaf. All of it good!...ok there was that ONE recipe that was only so/so.  I made it with all the Asian flare and flavors i could find. Then i decided...tacos. Turns out its the perfect pairing. Crispy cooked tofu, marinated in taco seasoning (i cheat and use the Ortega brand taco seasoning)
