Description

Delightful plant-based tacos featuring crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, and creamy avocado, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
  2. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the marinated tofu. Cook until crispy and golden on all sides, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Warm the tortillas in another pan or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing crispy tofu on each tortilla and topping with lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Press the tofu well for a crispier texture. Customizable toppings can enhance flavor.
