Directions
1
Spicy Tofu: Drain tofu in a colander and press out excess water with paper towels. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Combine soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne in a large bowl. Add tofu and mix gently. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Add tofu and cook turning occasionally for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
2
Cabbage: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3
Corn Tortillas: Soften individually on a dry non-stick griddle, or wrap in a towel and heat in the microwave.
4
To assemble: Take a soft corn tortilla, spoon tofu and cabbage down the center, add a bit of aioli and some hot sauce, if desired, roll up and eat with your fingers. Serve with Cilantro-Garlic Aioli.
Hints: The tofu that I use is Wildwood Organics Super Firm. It is very important to have super firm tofu in this recipe. If you can’t get the super firm variety of tofu, place firm tofu between several layers of tea towels and press down with weights for several hours to remove excess moisture.
