Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan and prepare your ingredients.
Coarsely grate the tofu and pat dry before tossing with half of the olive oil, half of the soy sauce, the cumin and cinnamon.
Spread onto a lined baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until firm and crispy.
Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix the cherry tomatoes, diced onion and coriander with a pinch of salt and pepper and the lime juice. Set aside.
Make the sauce by heating the remaining oil in a frying pan and adding the sliced onion. Fry for 8 minutes with a pinch of salt.
Add the crushed garlic cloves and paprika and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, maple syrup and soy and mix well before adding a splash of water and leaving to simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes.
Remove the shredded tofu from the oven and add to the pan to coat in the sauce.
Use the residual heat in the oven to heat the tortillas for 2 minutes.
To serve, fill the corn tacos with shredded lettuce topped with the tofu mix, some salsa, and sliced avocado. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime juice.

Wonderful, great taste and textures. Really healthy, light and fresh. Will definitely do this again.
Fresh and delicious.
Really lovely, definitely doing that again (and not too heavy)
A delicious meal. Even my husband thoroughly enjoyed it. I cooked the tofu in the air fryer and it turned out perfect
Worked well. Like the shredded tofu.
Great dish! Easy to make and very tasty ( I added some hot sauce in it)
Delicious
Nice and surprisingly light. Served it on taco tubs, popular indeed.
Delicious! The tofu took longer to crisp up in the oven and is was a bit messy to eat, but that didn’t matter as the flavours were wonderful.
Such a easy quick meal to make - everyone loves it
I have never grated tofu, but am going to start after making this recipe. This is delicious with the perfect mix of flavors. It was also incredibly quick to make. This will be added to my rotations of recipes I make often! Next time, I will also make the pico from this website to add on top.
A favorite even for people who do not like vegetarian meals. I always add some extra vegetables too it and a little mint yogurt.
YUM! I added shredded oyster mushrooms and red peppers as I needed to use those up. I also served with a homemade spicy salsa, as well as a serrano mango salsa. We loved it. My husband thought it was one of the best vegetarian taco dishes he'd ever had :)
Great stuff . It was nicer than we thought it might be
Absolutely delicious! This is first ever tofu recipe I actually like.
This is the first time I really enjoyed eating tofu. Absolutely delicious!
Tasty way to cook Tofu
Delicious and quick, super recipe for Taco Tuesdays. Flavour is rich and full, it's light on spice so perfect vehicle for a variety of hot sauces, or just as is if you prefer things a bit milder. Added to the taco recipe rotation.
Just fantastic! Shredded tofu and the sauce are soooo tasty. Will make again (and again)...
Fabulous! On a night when I really didn’t want to cook this came together very easily and was super tasty and filling. Will definitely be making again. Thankyou for yet another delicious recipe!
Excellent recipe! Tofu is the perfect texture and onion sauce was delicious. Will make again. Thanks.
Super tasteful ! Followed the recipe to the letter and it was great :)
This was a delicious meal. Didn’t make
any changes to the recipe at all. The sauce was delicious.
As an aside, having cooked many meals now, would it be possible to add the recipe amounts into the method, I just find I have to flip between the two all the time when cooking.
Very versatile sauce. I did add some lentils to the sauce to boost the protein intake and replaced the maple syrup by balsamic vinegar.
To the tofu I added some extra spices mix with turmeric & black pepper, garlic powder, sweet paprika powder and onion powder , … for some extra kick.
Used flat leaved parsley instead of coriander as my taste buds don’t like coriander.
Oh this is amazing! I made the salsa and the tofu + sauce. Didn't add the avocado and used romaine lettuce leaves as the tacos. Loved it! And will make it again!
Tasty as heck. Portion sizes on this and all the meals are big though. Although it’s giving us plenty leftover lunch ideas
My first time cooking with tofu.
Very easy to make and delicious
Will definitely cook again.
These tacos were super satisfying and fairly quick to make. Save time by using favorite store-bought salsa. Good job!
Very nice recipe, though for me, it was a little light on veg, and spice.. I added pepper and courgette, and a bit of smoked paprika to the tofu... Though.. grating and baking tofu.. genius...
This is easy to make, very tasty and has the feeling of pulled pork. Even the meat-eaters went back for more
Another new fave!
soo good
Replaced tofu with chicken but was fire!!
One of our favorites from this website. Easy to make, delicious and we put the leftover tofu on a salad the next day for lunch. This will definitely go into our recipe rotation.
Wow. ! Love this. Adding it to the weekly rotation. Thanks so much
Really delicious!
