Smoked Shredded Tofu (Addictive!)

February 27, 2022 by Chelsea Kram – XO&So: Vegetarian Comfort Food Leave a Comment

Looking for a delicious vegan taco filling or pizza topping? Look no further than shredded smoked tofu! This simple recipe is easy to make and packs a ton of flavor.

Shredded smoked tofu is an easy and delicious way to add flavor to your vegan tacos or pizza. It has a slightly smoky flavor that pairs well with Mexican spices or pepperoni/sausage toppings.
