Although we are not vegetarians, we enjoy eating well. We frequently replace meat with grains and tofu, which is why I made this. I enjoy sharing recipes when my hubby adores them. Try a range of cereals as meat alternatives without hesitation. doesn’t always have to be tofu. You may substitute ground chicken, pork, or turkey. Change up the spices. Yes, I do! Enjoy.

Instructions
- Bring water and freekeh to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until freekeh is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, tofu, mushrooms, garlic, and serrano chile pepper until vegetables are tender and tofu is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add corn, black beans, and freekeh; cook and stir until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir juice of 1/4 lemon, juice of 1/4 lime, cumin, 1 teaspoon white sugar, chili powder, coriander, paprika, and a pinch of salt into vegetable-tofu mixture; cook and stir until evenly coated and tofu is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Mix tomatoes, mango, basil, cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, juice of 3/4 lemon, juice of 3/4 lime, 1 tablespoon white sugar, oregano, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl until salsa is evenly combined.
- Spoon vegetable-tofu mixture into each corn tortilla; top each with mango salsa, about 1 tablespoon feta cheese, and 1 tablespoon yogurt.
- Allow tofu and mushrooms to brown on one side of the skillet if not using meat, as it helps to season these like meat!

Very good. The freekah and tofu season well creates almost the same taste as taco meat.
