Vegetarian tacos made of crispy tofu and a cherry salsa!
Ingredients
- 15 oz package extra firm tofu, excess moisture drained
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and quartered
- juice of 1/2 large lime
- 1/4–1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
- pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 4–5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup white cheddar
- 6 6-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- To make the salsa, combine cherries, lime juice, minced jalapeño, cilantro and a pinch of salt. Let sit while you prepare the tacos.
- To make the tacos, start by dicing the tofu into 1/4-inch cubes.
- In a small bowl combine cumin, garlic salt, coriander, oregano, and onion powder. Toss the tofu cubes in the seasoning mixture until the tofu is evenly coated on all sides.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. Cook 1/3 of the tofu, turning so that all sides brown, about 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining oil and tofu until it’s all cooked.
- To serve tacos, heat tortillas in either the microwave or in a dry sauté pan over medium heat. Divide tofu between 6 tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheddar and top with a scoop (or two) of cherry salsa.
