Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Avocado - 1 medium
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Red cabbage - 1 cup, shredded
• Sliced jalapeños - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.
2. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown.
4. While the tofu is cooking, prepare the avocado-lime sauce by mashing the avocado in a bowl and mixing in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Add salt to taste.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing crispy tofu in each tortilla, topping with shredded red cabbage, sliced jalapeños, and a generous dollop of avocado-lime sauce.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious crispy tofu tacos!
