Method
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into bite‑size pieces.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tofu crumbles into bite-sized pieces after pressing.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat until shimmering.
Add 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.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tofu develops a browned crust while left undisturbed.
Stir 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.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The seasoning liquid evaporates and leaves golden tofu pieces.
While the tofu cooks, prepare the Sriracha mayo by mixing vegan mayonnaise with Sriracha sauce in a small bowl; adjust heat to taste.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds, then keep them covered to stay soft.
Assemble 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.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
