What You’ll Need:
For the salsa:
2 c frozen mango chunks
1/3 red onion, minced
1/4 bunch fresh cilantro
Pinch sea salt
Optional: 1 fresh jalapeno
For the tacos:
1 block organic, firm tofu, pressed and diced
3 Tbsp avocado oil
For the taco seasoning*:
1 Tbsp cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper
OPTIONAL: ½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ (5-7oz) bag salad greens, any variety
6 corn tortillas
Slice tofu in half lengthwise. Press by layering on a plate: tea towel, tofu, tea towel, another plate. Press semi-firmly to begin to release water & set aside.
Meanwhile, prepare the salsa. Defrost mango by popping into the microwave for 45 seconds or so (will
yield about 1 ½ cup!)
Combine salsa ingredients in a small food processor or blender & puree. Set aside.
Combine taco seasoning in a small jar. Shake to mix. *This will make more than you need for this recipe. You’ll want to have it on hand in your spice cabinet!
Dice tofu & toss in spice mix with olive oil
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan. Add spiced tofu & pan fry, tossing often, until crispy. (about 10 minutes)
*If you have a gas range: Torch the tortillas on each side over high heat. (Set tortilla directly on flame; 30
seconds each side to yield a perfectly crispy, chewy tortilla! Similar effect on an electric range in a large, dry skillet.
To serve, smear each tortilla generously with salsa & greens. Top with spiced tofu!
