Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine oil, soy sauce, and spices. Form a fairly runny paste. If required, add a little bit more oil.
- Using your hands, crumble up the super firm tofu into small pieces. Make sure no major sized bits are left remaining. It's okay if the crumbles differ in size - they will crisp up differently and provide a great variety of texture.
- Add the crumbled tofu into the bowl with the seasoning paste. Combine well, making sure that all the tofu pieces are coated evenly.
- Lay all the tofu pieces on a covered baking sheet.
- Stirring occasionally, bake at around 355°F for 25-35 min, or until all of the tofu is nice and crispy. Some pieces will be darker than others, and that's perfectly fine - just make sure not to burn them.
- Finish the tofu with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, if desired, for an extra cheesy note and B-vitamins!
- Heat up the salsa in a saucepan until it's hot all the way through and reaches a nice, thick consistency. If desired, this is where you add your black beans for the final minute or two of cooking.
- Mix your tofu with your salsa mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill your tortillas with the tofu mixture. Add veggies, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Drain the tofu and pat it dry with a paper towel. Cut it into sticks or cubes. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the plant-based milk, the water, the paprika powder, the salt, and the black pepper.
- Stir until well combined.
- Dip the tofu sticks or cubes into the batter, so they're completely coated. Then roll them in the panko breadcrumbs.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the tofu cubes or sticks on the baking sheet. Don't put them on top of each other. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 °F.
- Combine Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wings sauce with a tablespoon of olive oil and pour it over the baked tofu. Evenly coat it from all sides by carefully stirring them a few times.
- Put the coated tofu back on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake again for 20 minutes at 350 °F.
- Roughly chop the lettuce and the red cabbage. Slice the avocado. Make the yogurt sauce: in a small bowl combine the plant-based yogurt, the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Once the baking time is over, reheat the store-bought tortillas in a skillet (30 seconds per side) or in the microwave (30 seconds on high). Arrange everything in the tortillas and drizzle the yogurt sauce on top. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice. Serve immediately!

Tips:
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape when you cook it.
- Press the tofu before cooking. This will help remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Tofu is a blank canvas, so you can flavor it however you like. Try using a combination of herbs, spices, and sauces.
- Cook the tofu until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This will give you the best texture and flavor.
- Serve the tofu tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Tofu tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by vegans and meat-eaters alike. With a variety of toppings and seasonings to choose from, you can easily customize your tacos to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tofu tacos a try!
