Tofu Fish Tacos

Tofu Fish Tacos are a delightful twist on traditional fish tacos, featuring crispy, marinated tofu that mimics the texture and flavor of fish. Topped with fresh slaw and zesty sauce, these tacos are perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Red cabbage - 100 grams, shredded
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced
• Greek yogurt or vegan alternative - 3 tablespoons
• Hot sauce (optional) - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick strips.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Add the tofu strips to the marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu strips. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
5. While the tofu cooks, prepare the slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and mix well.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of crispy tofu on each tortilla, topping with the slaw, avocado slices, and a drizzle of Greek yogurt or vegan alternative. Add hot sauce if desired.
8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
