Taco Tofu

So, this is when you need a taco filling and are tired of beans, or want something besides beans, or have a lot of tofu, or something.

Ingredients
As much tofu as you and your friends will probably eat (Maybe a pound so for 4 people?). Crumble it up with your hands into a bowl.
chili powder
vegetables (green tomatoes, peppers, fresh tomatoes)
chopped onion (Half as much as you have tofu)
1 clove garlic (chopped or crushed)
1 tbsp. Olive oil
salt (if there is none in the chili powder)
water to taste (no more than 1/2 cup)
More tomatoes or canned tomato paste (and water) to taste (Optional)

So now what...?
Heat up oil in pan over medium heat. Add garlic and chili powder and saute for a few minutes. Add tofu and vegetables. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Let the tofu brown. Now, when the vegetables are cooked and the tofu browned, you can add water, depending on how dry/moist you want it. If you want the mixture to be even more saucey, add additional tomatoes or the canned tomato paste at this point, stirring until it gets to the consistency you think you will enjoy eating. If you use tomato paste then you will need to add water to thin the paste.
Load it onto tortillas, taco shells, or your plate with cheese, refried beans, yogurt, chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, salsa, sour cream, etc.
