TIPS
Freeze the tofu overnight. When you freeze the tofu, it changes the texture. I prefer to freeze it in the water to make the tofu even spongier to absorb the spices. It crumbles unbelievably well too.

Editors Review
Chili is an American way of life, for the most part. You're probably thinking "But it has tofu not carne" But it is all in the spices and veggies!!! Oh, and the goodness of the tofu, that is texturally identical to ground meat. You can even fool the most dedicated meat eaters with this one.Chef
