Cook until they lose their water and brown. Approximately 7 minutes. Add the tofu 3 minutes into cooking the mushrooms. Add the spinach, garlic, spices, and lime juice and stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the cilantro.
  • Heat the tortillas in the oven for 3-4 minutes or until they’re warm.
  • Spread 3 tablespoons of beans down the center of the tortilla, add about a ½ cup of the potato tofu mixture then garnish with the tomatoes and extra cilantro if desired. Squeeze more lime juice over the taco if you like.
