Tofu Tacos Recipe

Tofu Tacos Recipe

  • 8 ounces water- or vacuum-packed extra-firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Gourmet Club Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon Safeway SELECT Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 4 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Safeway SELECT Roasted Tomato or Chipotle Salsa
  • 1/4 cup Lucerne Light Sour Cream (optional)
  1. 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.
  2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne. Add tofu and mix gently to coat cubes completely. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cabbage with vinegar. Stack tortillas and enclose in plastic wrap.
  4. Thread tofu cubes 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 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to a serving platter. Mound cabbage mixture alongside.
  5. Heat tortillas in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until hot and steamy, 30 to 45 seconds. Wrap in a towel. Serve with tofu, cabbage, salsa, and sour cream, if desired. Eat taco style, filling tortillas as desired.
