Trying to eat more plant-based this year? Start with these tofu tacos! The best kind of tofu? CRISPY tofu. And this buffalo tofu is the crispiest tofu I’ve ever made!
.
I made these in the oven but I also tested them in the air fryer. (For the air fryer, cook them at 400 degrees and cut the baking time down to 10-12 minutes or until browned.)
.
Here’s the recipe 👇
Ingredients
8oz tofu, cut into 1/2” cubes and pressed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup buffalo sauce
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas or 6 (4-inch) street taco tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce and/or cabbage
2 tablespoons vegan ranch dressing (optional)
.
Instructions
To press the tofu, cut the tofu into 1/2″ pieces and spread them in a single layer on a paper towel or clean, lint-free kitchen towel. Top with another layer of paper towels or a second clean kitchen towel. (I usually do a layer of paper towels, then a kitchen towel.)
Top with something flat and heavy like a large cookbook or a cast iron skillet. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes if you have time.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Once the tofu has been pressed and the moisture has been removed, toss the tofu gently with olive oil.
Then toss the tofu in cornstarch. Stir until there are no powdery spots visible.
Toss the tofu in buffalo sauce, then gently coat with breadcrumbs.
Spread the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes then flip and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
Fill each tortilla with tofu, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of ranch or any other toppings you like.
