Mango Tofu Tacos image

I grew up vegetarian and love Mexican food. As a kid, we used to have bean tacos. Inspired by a family friend, and by my maturing taste buds, I created this recipe to liven up my vegetarian taco experience.This is, of course, just the filling, and you can add whatever toppings to your taco that you want. This recipe tends to match better with red taco sauces than with green ones. Extra filling can be reheated later or eaten cold as a mango tofu salsa. Enjoy!

I'm not usually a fan of tofu, but these tacos changed my mind. The marinade made the tofu so flavorful and juicy.
