Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Hummus
- 8 pieces Small tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 whole Sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime wedges
Instructions
Begin by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object (like a skillet or a few cans) on top. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
While the tofu is pressing, prepare your vegetables: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro. Set everything aside.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into small cubes, roughly 1/2 inch in size.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Add the tofu cubes to the bowl and toss gently to coat them evenly in the marinade.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated tofu and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the tofu is golden and crispy on the edges.
Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the tacos, spread a generous layer of hummus down the center of each tortilla.
Top the hummus with a handful of shredded lettuce, a few cubes of cooked tofu, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
