Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Take a package of firm Soykei tofu, open it, and place the tofu on a clean cotton cloth. Take a potato masher and mash the tofu until you end up with a “ground meat” texture (you can also use your hands to break up the tofu).
- Place the mashed tofu in the middle of a cotton cloth. Form a ball and squeeze as much water as possible from the tofu in the sink.
- Place the tofu in a dish, add the garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and oil. Stir until well combined.
- Spread the tofu mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet to facilitate cooking. Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the zucchini lengthwise and remove the center (seeds) with a spoon. You can remove a little more than necessary to make room for the tofu taco mixture.
- Place the zucchini on the other baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes (at the same time as the tofu). Remove from the oven when your zucchini is cooked al dente (cooking time may vary depending on the size of your zucchini).
- Then remove the tofu from the oven when it is golden brown. Put the tofu, black beans, and taco spice mix in a pot. Add a cup of water and stir. Heat on the stove over low heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and the water is absorbed.
- Stuff the zucchini with a generous amount of taco mixture. Add the cheese and return the zucchini to the oven for 5-10 minutes to brown.
- Remove the zucchini boats and garnish with your favorite condiments (tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeños, shallots, sour cream, lime juice, etc.).
