Ingredients

• 1 block (14 oz) Firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Hummus
• 8 pieces Small tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 whole Sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 whole Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object (like a skillet or a few cans) on top. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

While the tofu is pressing, prepare your vegetables: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro. Set everything aside.

Step 3

Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into small cubes, roughly 1/2 inch in size.

Step 4

In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 5

Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly in the marinade.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the tacos, spread a generous layer of hummus down the center of each tortilla.

Step 9

Top the hummus with a handful of shredded lettuce, a few cubes of cooked tofu, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
