Delicious Thai Peanut Tofu Tacos

These tacos feature crispy tofu tossed in a savory peanut sauce, served in warm tortillas and topped with fresh vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

14 oz firm tofu, drained and pressed
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste (optional)
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup grated carrots
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Tofu: Cut the pressed tofu into small cubes. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, and sriracha until smooth.
Combine Tofu and Sauce: Once the tofu is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the peanut sauce over the tofu. Stir to coat the tofu evenly and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. To each tortilla, add a portion of the peanut tofu, followed by shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and a sprinkle of cilantro and chopped peanuts.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, with extra lime wedges and sriracha on the side if desired.
