How many crisps can a Home Chef crispy taco crisp if a Home Chef taco did up crisps? There's the fried tofu, of course, coated in cornstarch for that amazing outside. Coming in at the end is the perfectly pickled shallot, but also the ranch slaw, which raises the crispy crunch level on this meal to 11 out of 10.
