Mighty Migas

Standard

There’s currently an egg shortage because of avian flu. Almost 50 million egg-laying chickens have been killed to stop the spread of the disease. The egg shortage is mostly effecting commercial users: the restaurants and businesses making your pancakes, cookies, and, yes, breakfast tacos.

But fear not! Taco Scientists have discovered a way to make breakfast tacos without eggs. Here we have one of their highest performing tacos, the migas taco.

Mighty Migas

Fills 8 tacos

1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/2 cup (70 g) chopped onion
1 jalapeño, sliced in rings
14 to 16 ounces (397 to 454 g) firm tofu, drained
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup (37 g) crumbled tortilla chips
1 cup (170 g) seeded, chopped tomato
1/4 cup (15 g) nutritional yeast
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened plant milk or water
1/2 cup (48 g) vegan cheddar, optional
8 flour tortillas

1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and jalapeño for 2 minutes or until onion starts to soften. Crumble the tofu into the pan, sprinkle with the salt, cumin, and pepper, and cook until the tofu is dry and browned on at least once side, about 10 minutes. Try not to stir too often as this prevents browning. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the cheese if you’re using it, and stir thoroughly. Cook until the tomato softens and the liquid is completely absorbed. Serve in flour tortillas.

2 Mind Blowing Taco Hacks for Perfect Potatoes

Standard

Fried potatoes are an excellent option in most taco situations. However, they are notoriously time consuming. Today, we’ll look at two ways to speed up your cooking time and maximize crispiness.

A common suggestion to ensure that diced potatoes are fully cooked is to parboil before frying. Patience is not a virtue in the Taco Cleanse realm, so we’d rather not wait for water to boil if we can avoid it. A faster method is to put your diced potatoes in a bowl with a splash of water, cover with plastic wrap or a silicone lid, and microwave for five minutes. Your potatoes should be fork-tender and ready for the pan. Russet, new, and Yukon Gold potatoes all work well. Heat a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil on medium-high heat before introducing the potatoes to the pan.

2 Mind Blowing Taco Hacks for Perfect Potatoes

We want the crispy sides that develop to remain on the potatoes and not attach to the pan. If you are using a cast iron skillet (which you should be), we suggest procuring a thin metal spatula for this purpose. Occasionally flip the potatoes over the course of the next few minutes with your shiny new spatula. Your potatoes will brown evenly, and the crunchy bits will remain intact. Wooden spatulas and other blunt implements tend to break up soft ingredients and leave the precious Maillard reactions stuck to the pan. Salt to taste and add to taco while still warm.
