Ingredients

4 servings

For the tofu

1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce

For the lime crema

½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
¼ tsp salt

For serving

8 small corn tortillas
2 cups green cabbage, thinly shredded
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1
Drain the tofu and press it firmly between several layers of paper towels, pressing down with your hands or a heavy skillet for about 5 minutes, until most surface moisture is removed. Cut the pressed tofu into 3/4-inch cubes.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the tofu cubes and soy sauce to a mixing bowl, toss to coat, then sprinkle the spice blend over the tofu and toss again until every piece is evenly coated.
