Instructions

- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.Add 2 teaspoons of oil and let the oil heat up then add in your spiced tofu.
- Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the tofu is golden, is crispy on most of the edges.
- You might want to be careful with the end of cooking so as to not burn the spices.
- Make the BBQ onions: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onion is golden. 7-8 mins. Stir occasionally.
- Then add in your BBQ sauce and hot sauce and toss well to coat then take off heat.
- To assemble tacos, warm your tortillas on a gas stove or a pan then layer a layer of lettuce. Add a good helping of the tofu.
- Squeeze some lime juice over the tofu then top it with the BBQ onions, more lettuce, and vegan ranch, or sour cream as needed.
- Repeat for all your tacos and serve immediately.
Notes
- Nutrition does not include tortillas
- You can also make this into a wrap. Add in some slaw, bbq onion, and some rice and roll it up into a burrito.
- You can also turn this into a sandwich by cutting the tofu into larger slabs then blackening it. Then adding to a sandwich layer along with the lettuce, ranch, BBQ onion, and lime juice.
- To make these Soyfree , omit the soy sauce and use my chickpea flour tofu or use cooked chickpeas
