Ingredients

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or lettuce
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Slice the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs.
Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Tofu: Place the tofu slabs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Grill the Tofu: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the tofu is grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place grilled tofu on each tortilla, top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and additional cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
