Here, we tear the tofu instead of cutting it. That might sound odd, but it's the best way to get crisp, crumbly edges reminiscent of fish tacos. Coating with a flavorful cornstarch mixture helps maximize the crunch.

Wow! This dish is so good and is a keeper. We stuck to the recipe pretty close. The only change we made was because we didn't have sour cream on hand, so we got creative and used a caesar dressing mixed with the adobo sauce for our cabbage slaw. We added homemade refried pinto beans to our tofu tacos. Topped it off with the slaw, sliced avocado, and lime. We loved it! Definitely going to make these tofu tacos again. Thank you!
