Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Press the tofu block over the sink or wrap it in kitchen roll to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Step 2
Crumble the tofu with your hands, place it in a bowl, and mix with the oil. Finely dice the chipotle chili and stir it together with the tomato purée, water, spices, cornstarch, agave syrup, and salt to form a thick marinade. Mix the tofu with the marinade.
- Step 3
Spread the marinated tofu onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes, or until the tofu is crispy.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, wash and spin dry the lettuce, then cut it into thin strips. Wash the parsley or cilantro, spin or pat it dry, and roughly chop it. Warm the tortillas according to the package instructions in the oven, in a pan, or in the microwave.
- Step 5
Spread the sour cream or crème fraîche over the center of each tortilla or taco shell. Top with the lettuce, then divide the tofu filling evenly among the tortillas. Finish with the avocado, chopped cilantro or parsley, pickled onions, and cheese. Serve with lime wedges.
