Ingredients

1 block extra firm tofu
1 T oil (for tofu prep)
2 t chili powder
1 t cumin
6 T sunbutter (or any nut butter, such as peanut butter)
2 T maple syrup
2 T sriracha
4 t oil (I like avocado oil)
6 corn tortillas
1 c red cabbage diced
3 green onions diced
4 T parsley diced (fresh)

Instructions

The first step to make your air fryer tofu tacos is to prepare your tofu. You are going to want to press your tofu for about 10-12 minutes. Remember to tighten the knobs about every 3-4 minutes.
Once your tofu has been pressed, you are going to want to cube your tofu.
Place the tofu into a gallon sized baggie. Then add in the oil and spices. Gently shake the baggie to help coat the tofu.
Once the tofu is coated you, will gently place the tofu taco meat into the air fryer basket. Cook the tofu taco meat in your air fryer at 380 degrees F for 12-14 minutes. Be sure to shake the basket in the middle of the time to help prevent the tofu from sticking.
While the tofu taco meat is cooking in the air fryer you can diced up the cabbage, green onions and parsley. Then set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sunbutter, maple syrup, sriracha and oil. This will be the sauce you use to top your air fryer tofu tacos!
Divide the corn tortillas onto two plates. Divide red cabbage onto plates, followed by the tofu, the sauce, green onions and parsley.
Enjoy those air fryer tofu tacos! Sit back and relax!

Notes

**Don't have an air fryer? No problem, you can saute your tofu in cubes by using 2 T oil over medium heat. Be sure to move tofu around in the pan so each side can brown.

Pro Tip: If you have a gas stove you can hold the corn torillas over the open flame to char the edges. Be careful!

Pro Tip: If you don't want to use tofu cubes, you can diced or mash the tofu taco meat with a fork to make a crumble for your tacos. This crumble will more closely represent other proteins typically found in tacos.
