Steps:
- Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
- Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu lengthwise into 7 even planks. Cut each plank lengthwise into thirds, then evenly dice into 1/2-inch pieces. Spread the diced tofu on a large baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another towel to absorb the moisture. Set aside 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and garlic powder in a large bowl. Season the tofu with salt, then toss with the cornstarch mixture to coat. Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until the tofu starts to brown slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently stir, then continue to cook, tossing, until golden brown all over and very crispy, 5 to 7 more minutes. Transfer the tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until softened and hot, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Assemble the tacos: Place some cabbage in the center of each tortilla; top with a slice of avocado. Add some tofu, pico de gallo, a drizzle of crema, chopped cilantro and jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges.
FRIED TOFU TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY
Topped with pico de gallo, shredded red cabbage, and homemade crema sauce, these fried tofu tacos are loaded with fresh flavor and texture. The beer-battered and fried tofu cutlets could fool any seafood lover or fish-stick fan. We recommend freezing the pressed tofu before marinating to mimic that flaky fish-like consistency.

Steps:
- Set the pressed tofu on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Let thaw completely, then cut into 8 ½-inch-thick strips. (Freezing is optional, but will give the tofu a meatier texture.)
- Meanwhile, make the crema sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, crema, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, ¼ cup canola oil, lemon juice and zest, caper brine, nori, sugar, and salt. Add the tofu to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Heat the remaining 6 cups of canola oil in a wide, shallow pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Add ½ cup flour to a medium plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining cup of flour and the beer until a thick, but pourable, batter (similar to pancake batter) forms.
- Working in batches of 4-5 strips at a time, remove the tofu from the marinade and dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beer batter. Transfer to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.
- Assemble the tacos: Add 1 piece of fried tofu to each tortilla, then top with 2-3 tablespoons of pico de gallo and a handful of shredded cabbage and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of the crema sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges alongside.
- Enjoy!

TOFU TACOS
I love tofu and this is a recipe that I adapted from Sunset Magazine. The original recipe calls for cabbage, I use lettuce instead. Use cabbage if you desire.

- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into roughly bite-sized crumbles. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!). Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the tofu and cook on medium high for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up large pieces into bite sized chunks and stirring occasionally, until browned and lightly crispy and the liquid evaporates. (The exact timing depends on the tofu brand.)
- Thinly slice the red cabbage, and place it in a bowl. Spritz with the juice of 2 lime wedges and add a few pinches kosher salt. Mix the vegan yogurt with Mexican hot sauce to taste, and add a few pinches of salt.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)

- In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, and spices. Form a fairly runny paste. If required, add a little bit more oil.
- Using your hands, crumble up the super firm tofu into small pieces. Make sure no major sized bits are left remaining. It's okay if the crumbles differ in size - they will crisp up differently and provide a great variety of texture.
- Add the crumbled tofu into the bowl with the seasoning paste. Combine well, making sure that all the tofu pieces are coated evenly.
