Spicy Tofu Tacos

If you are not a fan of Tofu, you can easily replace it with Tempeh, soy protein or even finely chopped Cauliflower.  I had to improvise a bit because I didn’t have a Poblano pepper on hand so I used a Jalapeno pepper instead.  Also fried some Jalapeno slices and used for garnish along with home made Guacamole.
