Ingredients

Directions

1. Drain the tofu and slice thinly. Place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and a couple of cans to weight down. Let drain for 45 minutes.

2. In a nonstick skillet heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, cabbage and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Cool slightly.

3. Process the drained tofu in a food processor until creamy. Add the flour, yeast, ketchup, parsley, sesame seeds, taco seasoning, cayenne, salt and pepper; process until smooth. Add the vegetables and process until the vegetables are finely chopped and incorporated.

4. Form the mixture into 4 patties and dredge in wheat germ. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook 5 minutes. Turn and add another teaspoon oil; continue cooking 4 minutes, or until heated through. (Serve on toasted buns with condiments.)

Note: Nutritional yeast can be found in health food stores. If unavailable substitute 2 tablespoons wheat germ.
