Tofu Tacos image

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.

Time 21m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (12 ounce) box extra firm tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
3 cups finely shredded lettuce or 3 cups cabbage
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
8 soft corn tortillas (6-inch)
1 cup salsa, of your choice
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse tofu, drain in a colander for about 5 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cut into 1-inch cubes and lightly blot with more paper towels.
  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and cayenne.
  • Add tofu and mix gently to coat cubes completely.
  • Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix lettuce with vinegar.
  • Stack tortillas and enclose in plastic wrap.
  • Thread tofu cubes equally onto four 8-inch wooden skewers.
  • Set a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • When pan is hot, lay skewers in pan and turn as needed to brown tofu on all sides, 5-6 minutes total.
  • Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Mound lettuce mixture alongside.
  • Heat tortillas in a microwave oven at full power until hot and steamy, 30-45 seconds.
  • Wrap in a towel.
  • Serve with tofu and lettuce, salsa, and sour cream.
  • Eat taco style, filling as desired.
