Ingredients

14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
4 slices of bacon, chopped
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 small tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Sour cream or yogurt for serving (optional)
Hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
Marinate the Tofu: In a bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
Cook the Tofu: In the same skillet, add olive oil and the marinated tofu. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with the crispy tofu, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions.
Serve: Top with sour cream or yogurt and hot sauce if desired. Enjoy your Maple Bacon Tofu Tacos!
