Ingredients
  

  • 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu (14 oz, drained and pressed)
  • 1 Tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce or Tamari
  • 1 Tbsp light olive oil divided
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas or taco shells
  • 1/2 cup Mexican pickled onions
  • 4 Tbsp garlic cilantro sauce
  • 4 Tbsp chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo

Instructions
 

  • Drain and press the tofu to remove excess water. Shred it using a cheese grater.
  • In a bowl, combine shredded tofu with olive oil, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, taco seasoning, cumin, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • To bake, spread the tofu on a sheet pan and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, mixing halfway through. For pan-frying, cook in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes until golden.
  • Warm the tortillas in a skillet, oven, or over a flame. Assemble tacos by filling tortillas with shredded tofu and desired toppings.

Notes

Store cooked tofu in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Assemble tacos just before serving for best texture.
