Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a food processor, combine tofu, onion, bell pepper, garlic, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt.
  4. In a large pan and over high heat, add oil, followed by the tofu mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Toast the tortillas directly on the gas burner or in a pan. Lay tortillas on a plate and add a generous serving spoonful of the tofu mixture to each tortilla.
  6. Garnish tacos with lettuce and tomatoes.

Notes

  • For smokier flavor: You could lightly char the onion and red pepper under a broiler. Also, lightly char the tortillas over a gas burner (just a few seconds on each side).
  • To keep tortillas warm: Store them wrapped in a kitchen towel or tortilla warmer. Alternatively, you could keep them wrapped in foil in the oven at 300F/150C.
  • Additional flavor: A combination of lime juice and cilantro will take these tacos to another level.
