Ingredients
- 14 ounce package of extra firm tofu
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- ½ of a red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- pinch of smoked paprika
- pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 8 corn tortillas
- Handful of chopped lettuce
- 1 cup of diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Slice tofu into 1-inch cubes and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a food processor, combine tofu, onion, bell pepper, garlic, soy sauce, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt.
- In a large pan and over high heat, add oil, followed by the tofu mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- 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.
- 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.
