Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 whole sliced avocado
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon lime zest

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu block to remove excess moisture. Pat it dry and crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.

Step 3

Sprinkle the tofu with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the tofu. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the spices are fragrant and the tofu is crispy on the edges. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest to create the lime crema. Set aside.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds.

Step 6

To assemble the tacos, start by layering the cooked tofu into the warm tortillas. Top with shredded purple cabbage, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of lime crema.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Terrific Tofu Tacos!
