Flavorful BBQ Tofu Tacos

This recipe features marinated tofu that is grilled or baked until crispy, served in warm tortillas with a variety of toppings. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

14 oz firm tofu, pressed and drained
1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Slice the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slabs. In a bowl, combine the tofu and BBQ sauce, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Tofu: Preheat a grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Grill the tofu for about 5-7 minutes on each side until crispy and caramelized. If baking, place the tofu on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the tofu is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a few pieces of the BBQ tofu on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and cilantro. Drizzle with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
