Ingredients

14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the tofu cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Cook the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy.
Roast the Peppers: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the Tortillas: While the tofu and peppers are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the smoky tofu and roasted peppers onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and salsa or hot sauce if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, garnished with your favorite toppings.
