Tofu, which is the main ingredient in these tacos, is not only an excellent source of plant protein, but also absorbs the flavours of the spices very well. Marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, smoked paprika and Roman cumin and then fried until golden, it becomes crispy and full of flavour. Fresh vegetables such as red cabbage, red onion and avocado add crunch and freshness to the tacos, while lime juice and fresh coriander enhance their unique flavour. The whole thing is completed with a delicate sauce based on vegan mayonnaise, which gives the tacos a creamy texture and a refreshing taste.
Making vegan tacos with crispy tofu is quick and easy, making them the perfect choice for any occasion. These flavourful tacos are not only healthy but also extremely filling, providing all the nutrients you need. It's a dish that can be freely modified by adding your favourite vegetables or spices to create your own unique versions.
