Steps:
- Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
- Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Steps:
- Cut the tofu lengthwise into 7 even planks. Cut each plank lengthwise into thirds, then evenly dice into 1/2-inch pieces. Spread the diced tofu on a large baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another towel to absorb the moisture. Set aside 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the cornstarch, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano and garlic powder in a large bowl. Season the tofu with salt, then toss with the cornstarch mixture to coat. Heat 1/4 inch vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until the tofu starts to brown slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Gently stir, then continue to cook, tossing, until golden brown all over and very crispy, 5 to 7 more minutes. Transfer the tofu to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until softened and hot, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Assemble the tacos: Place some cabbage in the center of each tortilla; top with a slice of avocado. Add some tofu, pico de gallo, a drizzle of crema, chopped cilantro and jalapeño. Serve with lime wedges.
TOFU TACOS
I love tofu and this is a recipe that I adapted from Sunset Magazine. The original recipe calls for cabbage, I use lettuce instead. Use cabbage if you desire.

- Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into roughly bite-sized crumbles. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!). Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the tofu and cook on medium high for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking up large pieces into bite sized chunks and stirring occasionally, until browned and lightly crispy and the liquid evaporates. (The exact timing depends on the tofu brand.)
- Thinly slice the red cabbage, and place it in a bowl. Spritz with the juice of 2 lime wedges and add a few pinches kosher salt. Mix the vegan yogurt with Mexican hot sauce to taste, and add a few pinches of salt.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
