Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tofu

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Season the Tofu

    Add cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the tofu evenly and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado and Shallot

    While the tofu cooks, dice the avocado and finely chop the shallot.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    In each taco shell, layer the seasoned tofu, diced avocado, chopped shallot, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice before serving.
