This recipe is for my tofu skeptics (and my tofu lovers, of course!). I stopped eating meat at 20, and it probably took me 3 to 4 years before I integrated tofu as a regular ingredient into my diet. To be fair, health was not my focus back then (I was on a pizza and pasta diet), and tofu was not mainstream at all in the South of France. Once I started looking into it, I remember thinking it was a lot of work, especially compared to opening a can of chickpeas.
Most recipes I looked at called for freezing, thawing, pressing, and marinating overnight… which, don’t get me wrong, makes for epic and flavourful tofu, but it was a little overwhelming. This is where this recipe comes in. These tacos are so easy you can literally have dinner on the table in 15 minutes ????
Today I cannot imagine not having tofu. It’s my favorite plant protein. I start most days with a tofu scramble, and it’s often featured again with lunch or dinner.
Where do you stand on tofu? Love it? Or still on the fence? Let me know in the comments!

Equipment
Ingredients
Tofu Tacos
- 10 mini tortillas
- 450 g extra firm tofu
- 1.5 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp tamari (reduced sodium)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions
- Begin by shredding the tofu using a cheese grater. In a separate bowl, combine the smoked paprika, maple syrup, olive oil, tamari, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast to create a flavorful sauce.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the shredded tofu and the prepared sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the sauce and cooked thoroughly.
- While the tofu is cooking, prepare the cilantro sauce by blending all the ingredients until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Next, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, finely diced red onions, lime juice, diced cilantro, and salt. Mix well.
- Finally, assemble the tacos. Heat up your tortillas, spread a generous amount of cilantro sauce, add the cooked tofu, and top with the fresh mango salsa. Enjoy your delicious tofu tacos!
