1-2 Tbsp homemade taco seasoning
1 can pinto beans, drained (or beans of choice)
1 small can corn, drained
12 oz jarred salsa, about 1 jar (make sure to pick your favorite)

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
For topping:
Chopped cilantro
Chopped cherry tomatoes
Lime wedges
Sliced avocado
Sour cream
Directions:
Prepare pickled onions and homemade taco seasoning according to recipes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm EVOO. Meanwhile, crumble tofu with a fork (see picture below).
When oil is hot, add tofu and taco seasoning and mix to combine. Let cook untouched for about 5-7 minutes, until browned. Then flip and brown other sides.
Add beans, corn, and salsa. Mix well and cook for 3 minutes.
Spread chips over top of the tofu mixture, then sprinkle with cheese.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese in bubbling and lightly browned (keep an eye on it though, it will go from brown to burnt quickly).
Remove from oven and add toppings to your hearts content!
Kid tip: If your kids don't like mixed foods, reserve some ingredients before combining, like the tofu, corn, beans, and toppings, and serve a la carte!
