Tofu Tacos
I love tofu and this is a recipe that i adapted from sunset magazine. The original recipe calls for cabbage, i use lettuce instead. Use cabbage if you desire.
Steps
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.
In a bowl , mix soy sauce , lime juice , chili powder , cumin , garlic powder and cayenne.
Add tofu and mix gently to coat cubes completely.
Let stand 5 to 10 minutes , stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile , in another bowl , mix lettuce with vinegar.
Stack tortillas and enclose in plastic wrap.
Thread tofu cubes equally 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 , 5-6 minutes total.
Transfer to a serving platter.
Mound lettuce mixture alongside.
Heat tortillas in a microwave oven at full power until hot and steamy , 30-45 seconds.
Wrap in a towel.
Serve with tofu and lettuce , salsa , and sour cream.
Eat taco style , filling as desired.
