5. While the tofu is baking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
6. Assemble the tacos by placing a scoop of shredded cabbage and julienned carrots on each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the baked tofu.
7. Garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Helpful Tips:

• Pressing the tofu before marinating helps it absorb more flavor and achieve a firmer texture.
• Customize your tacos with your favorite toppings like sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or a drizzle of extra sriracha for an extra kick!
• Don’t skip the lime wedges – they add a burst of freshness that elevates the flavors of the tacos.

Variations for Thai Peanut Tofu Taco :

• Swap tofu for tempeh or chickpeas for a different protein option.
• Use almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different nutty flavor.
• If you’re not a fan of spicy food, adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your taste preferences.
