GRILLED TOFU TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY
If you love fish tacos, you'll also love this vegetarian version that uses grilled tofu in place of fish. Paired with grilled pineapple salsa and topped with avocado, eating these tacos is like taking a bite out of summer. We recommend freezing the pressed tofu before marinating to give it a meatier texture.

Steps:
- Set the pressed tofu on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Let thaw completely, then cut into ½-inch-thick slabs. (Freezing is optional, but will give the tofu a meatier texture.)
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the lime juice and zest, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, salt, and canola oil.
- Add the tofu to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- While the tofu is marinating, make the grilled pineapple salsa. Brush a grill pan with canola oil and heat over high heat until just smoking. Working in batches, add the pineapple to the hot pan and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, until distinct grill marks appear and the pineapple is beginning to soften. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until grill marks appear on the other side. Transfer the pineapple rings to a cutting board and cut into ¼-inch pieces.
- Transfer the pineapple to a medium bowl, along with the onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, salt, and lime juice and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Grill the tofu: Brush the same grill pan with more canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Working in batches, remove the tofu from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until distinct grill marks appear. Cut each tofu slab into ½-inch slices crosswise on the diagonal.
- Just before serving, grill the tortillas over medium-high heat until just warmed through and some brown spots appear, about 1 minute per side.
- Assemble the tacos: Fill each tortilla with grilled tofu and top with 2-3 tablespoons of pineapple salsa and 1-2 avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
- Enjoy!

FRIED TOFU TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY
Topped with pico de gallo, shredded red cabbage, and homemade crema sauce, these fried tofu tacos are loaded with fresh flavor and texture. The beer-battered and fried tofu cutlets could fool any seafood lover or fish-stick fan. We recommend freezing the pressed tofu before marinating to mimic that flaky fish-like consistency.

Steps:
- Set the pressed tofu on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Let thaw completely, then cut into 8 ½-inch-thick strips. (Freezing is optional, but will give the tofu a meatier texture.)
- Meanwhile, make the crema sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, crema, lime juice, ancho chile powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the rice wine vinegar, ¼ cup canola oil, lemon juice and zest, caper brine, nori, sugar, and salt. Add the tofu to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Heat the remaining 6 cups of canola oil in a wide, shallow pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Add ½ cup flour to a medium plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining cup of flour and the beer until a thick, but pourable, batter (similar to pancake batter) forms.
- Working in batches of 4-5 strips at a time, remove the tofu from the marinade and dredge in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beer batter. Transfer to the hot oil and fry for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.
- Assemble the tacos: Add 1 piece of fried tofu to each tortilla, then top with 2-3 tablespoons of pico de gallo and a handful of shredded cabbage and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of the crema sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges alongside.
- Enjoy!

- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into roughly bite-sized crumbles. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!). Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the tofu and cook on medium high for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up large pieces into bite sized chunks and stirring occasionally, until browned and lightly crispy and the liquid evaporates. (The exact timing depends on the tofu brand.)
- Thinly slice the red cabbage, and place it in a bowl. Spritz with the juice of 2 lime wedges and add a few pinches kosher salt. Mix the vegan yogurt with Mexican hot sauce to taste, and add a few pinches of salt.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
