- Fry Tofu. Add olive oil to a large, non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes to the hot pan, rotating the cubes until they are browned (5-10 minute). When done, put cooked tofu cubes into a bowl, toss in taco seasoning to coat.
- Assemble your tacos! Warm up your tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 25-30 seconds. Add tofu, cabbage, queso fresco, and top with cilantro and sriracha mayo!
