Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Allow the tofu to sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavors.
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they're golden and crispy on all sides.
- Stir in the broccoli florets and bell peppers, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
- Reduce the heat to low, then pour the smoky chili sauce over the tofu and vegetables, mixing well to coat. Allow it to heat through for about 2 minutes.
- While the filling cooks, warm the corn tortillas in a separate frying pan or on a baking tray in the oven for about 2-3 minutes until pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with the smoky tofu and veggie mixture, folding them gently.
- Cut the tacos in half, serve with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, avocado slices, a salad on the side, and a lime wedge to squeeze over the top.

Notes
Feel free to substitute the tofu with jackfruit for a different texture, or use any seasonal vegetables you have on hand! These tacos can be customized with your choice of toppings; try adding colorful diced tomatoes or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; simply reheat the filling in a pan and warm up the tortillas to enjoy them again! Happy cooking!
