Spicy Baked Tofu Tacos

This recipe for spicy baked tofu tacos caught my eye on Pinterest (a borderline obsession of mine). I had half of a package of tofu and needed to find a yummy recipe to make. I found one! It comes from a blog called Peas and Thank You. So cute! Here's my take on her recipe.

What You'll Need:

For Marinated Tofu:

2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

Juice of 1/2 a Lime

1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar

1 Tablespoon of Water

1 Clove of Garlic, Minced

1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder

1/4 Teaspoon Cumin

1/2 of a 14 ounce package of Extra Firm Tofu 

(drained and pressed if packaged in water, and cut into thin slabs)

For Tacos:

Whole Wheat Tortillas

Shredded Green Cabbage

Guacamole

Salsa

Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a container that has a lid. Slice the tofu into thin slabs (about 1/4 inch thick) and add to the marinade container. Gently shake the container until the tofu is covered with marinade. Tip: Don't go nuts...tofu is delicate! :) Refrigerate for about 2 hours.

You can also let this sit overnight to really soak up flavor!

To bake the tofu: Preheat your oven to 350. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil and spread out the tofu slabs so they are about an inch apart. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top of the slices.

Bake the tofu for about 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven, flip the slices, and bake again for about 10-15 minutes, or until the slices get crispy on the edges.

To make tacos: Spread guacamole on your tortilla, and add tofu slices. Top with chopped green cabbage, and salsa. I used fruit salsa... yummy! Makes about 4 tacos.

Enjoy! :)
