Baja Tofu Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
– 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 8 corn tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cabbage
– ½ cup diced tomatoes
– ¼ cup chopped cilantro
– ½ avocado, sliced
– Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Baja Tofu Tacos:
1. Prepare the Tofu: Start by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. Cut the tofu into small cubes or strips.
2. Season the Tofu: In a bowl, toss the tofu with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Ensure that all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
3. Cook the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the tofu is golden and crispy.
4. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan, gently warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.
5. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the vegan sour cream or yogurt with lime juice and hot sauce (if using). Set aside.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Place a few pieces of crispy tofu in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and avocado slices.
7. Drizzle the Sauce: Add a generous drizzle of the prepared sauce over the tacos for added flavor.
8. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving to enhance the taste.
