  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 block firm tofu, pressed and drained
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 2 teaspoons ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon lime juice
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 small corn tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cabbage
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– ½ cup chopped cilantro
– ½ avocado, sliced
– ½ cup vegan sour cream (optional)
– Lime wedges, for serving


Instructions

Creating Baja Tofu Tacos is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Tofu: If using a block of tofu, press it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut it into small cubes.
2. Marinate Tofu: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
3. Cook Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Warm Tortillas: While the tofu is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in another skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
5. Assemble Tacos: On each tortilla, add a generous scoop of the crispy tofu, followed by shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado slices.
6. Add Sauce: Drizzle with vegan sour cream if using, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
7. Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

These steps will guide you in creating Baja Tofu Tacos that are not only delicious but also visually appealing.
