Instructions
Marinate the Tofu
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes. Toss with soy sauce, smoked paprika, and cumin. Let marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cook the Tofu
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and crispy on all sides.
Warm the Tortillas
While the tofu cooks, warm the corn tortillas directly over a gas flame for 30 seconds per side or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45 seconds until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Place crispy tofu on each warmed tortilla and top generously with shredded cabbage, fresh salsa, and avocado slices. Serve immediately with lime wedges and hot sauce if desired.
