blackened tofu tacos

These Blackened Tofu Tacos can be made in just 30 minutes and are packed full of flavor and plant based protein! Make them for your next Taco Tuesday or just for an easy weeknight dinner that's packed with a punch! The tofu is cooked with warms spices until crispy and golden and then stuffed into corn tortillas with crisp veggies and a creamy sauce.

Blackened Tofu Tacos

oz black super firm tofu, or extra firm tofu that has been pressed well

olive oil,

paprika

chili powder

garlic powder

onion powder

cumin

oregano

salt

black pepper

corn tortillas

Pat your tofu dry and press if needed.  If using super firm tofu, you shouldn&#8217;t really have to press it at all.  You can cut up your tofu any way you like for these tacos.  I like to slice the tofu into big, thin pieces and then use my hands to break apart the tofu pieces so that they kind of resemble fish for fish tacos.

Add all your blackening seasonings to a small bowl and mix until combined.  Heat a large pan over medium heat and add your olive oil.  You can start by using just 1 tablespoon of oil and then see if you need to use more throughout the cooking process.

Add the torn pieces of tofu to the hot pan and mix until tofu is coated with the oil.  Next, add in the blackening seasoning and mix again until everything is fully coated.  Let tofu cook for a total of about 15 minutes, until golden and crispy, or slightly blackened.  I like to let the tofu cook, undisturbed, for a few minutes before I start moving it around.  This will allow it to get brown and crispy much quicker.

If the tofu seems to be getting too dry while it&#8217;s browning, you can add in extra olive oil or give it a quick spray with cooking oil.  Once tofu is finished cooking, turn the heat off and let cool for a few minutes.

Assemble your tacos: I like to heat my corn tortillas up over an open flame on a gas stove or in a pan with a little cooking spray.  Next, spread the bottom of the tortilla with some fish taco sauce and then top with avocado, cabbage, cilantro, onion and fresh lime juice.  Enjoy with chips and dip or beans and rice, if desired!

Blackened Tofu Tacos with BBQ Onions

soy sauce

smoked paprika

thyme

cayenne

onion

A good pinch of salt and pepper

BBQ sauce

hot sauce

lime juice

chopped lettuce or cabbage as needed

sour cream

tortillas as needed (Glutenfree as desired)

Press and cube the tofu if you haven&#39;t already. Then add to a bowl. Add the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon oil and toss well to coat.

In another small shallow bowl, mix all the spices then sprinkle the spices over the tofu and toss well to coat.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.Add 2 teaspoons of oil and let the oil heat up then add in your spiced tofu.

Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the tofu is golden, is crispy on most of the edges.

You might want to be careful with the end of cooking so as to not burn the spices.

Make the BBQ onions: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onion is golden. 7-8 mins. Stir occasionally.

Then add in your BBQ sauce and hot sauce and toss well to coat then take off heat.

To assemble tacos, warm your tortillas on a gas stove or a pan then layer a layer of lettuce. Add a good helping of the tofu.

Squeeze some lime juice over the tofu then top it with the BBQ onions, more lettuce, and vegan ranch, or sour cream as needed.

Repeat for all your tacos and serve immediately.

Delicious 🤤 and so simple to make. Thanks 🙏 for sharing your recipe with us. I would make this again.

We made these for dinner last night. They were delicious! Next time, I’ll make even more of the BBQ onions because those are really tasty. We also used the ranch awesome sauce from your Everyday Kitchen cookbook. It was perfect. Thanks for another delightful recipe, Richa!

This was outstanding!  Super easy to make but so much flavor in the tofu!  The onions turned out great as well.

These are amazing!  I baked the tofu for convenience since I made my own corn tortillas (because I'm extra like that).

I LOVE this recipe. I drizzled vegan ranch and it was delish! This will be a staple in my house. Leftovers heated up great.

This was very delicious and quick to make.

I used the spice mix (minus the onion powder cuz I didnt have) and baked the tofu and it was so delicious! had them with sumac onions and coriander in tortillas with a spread of labneh mixed with indian green chutney, SO good!

These were so good! They’ll definitely be in my regular rotation! Thank you, Richa! Your recipes are consistently good.
