Ingredients
- 14 oz extra‑firm tofu
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup red onion
- 4 lime wedges
Instructions
- 1Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into bite‑size pieces.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; set aside.
- 3Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering.
- 4Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, spreading it in an even layer; let it sear without stirring for 2‑3 minutes to develop a crust.
- 5Stir the tofu and pour the seasoning mixture over it; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 4‑5 minutes.
- 6While the tofu cooks, prepare the Sriracha mayo by mixing vegan mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce in a small bowl; adjust heat to taste.
- 7Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds, then keep them covered to stay soft.
- 8Assemble each taco: place a generous spoonful of smashed tofu on a tortilla, drizzle with Sriracha mayo, and top with sliced red onion and chopped cilantro.
- 9Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
