Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
- 8 pcs Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Radishes, thinly sliced
- 4 pcs Lime wedges
- 1 pc Avocado, sliced
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano, garlic powder, soy sauce, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown slightly.
Pour the spice mixture over the tofu and stir well to coat evenly. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tofu to crisp up in spots.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable and slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the tofu chorizo evenly among the tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, sliced radishes, and avocado.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
