Tofu Tacos
James Carrier
Notes: If your wooden skewers are too long to fit in the pan, cut them to size with scissors.
How to Make It
Step 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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cabbage with vinegar. Stack tortillas and enclose in plastic wrap.
Step 4
Thread tofu cubes equally onto four 8-inch wooden skewers (see notes). 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.
Step 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 and cabbage, salsa, and sour cream. Eat taco style, filling tortillas as desired.

Yummy! We didn't do the skewers either. We added fresh salsa, the cabbage and some shredded cheddar cheese! Similar to a fish taco!. Also I reduced the chili powder to 1 1/2 teaspoons and did not at the cayenne pepper

My family makes this all the time - we're not vegetarian, either. My 6 and 8 year old ask for it often.
The fresh lime and cayenne give it a great flavor! The cabbage is a must for texture. We don't bother with the skewers, it's way too fussy.
