Equipment

Kitchen Towel or Paper Towels
Heavy Object (for pressing tofu)
Knife
Cutting board
Mixing bowl
Measuring spoons
Non-stick skillet
Oven (for taco shells)

Ingredients

14 oz extra firm tofu, pressed and cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 low-carb keto-friendly taco shells
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, sliced
¼ cup sour cream
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into small cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with avocado oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned tofu. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is crispy and golden brown on all sides.
While the tofu is cooking, prepare the taco shells according to package instructions, usually heating them in the oven for a few minutes.
Assemble the tacos by filling each shell with an even amount of crispy tofu, shredded cheddar cheese, and slices of avocado.
Top each taco with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.

Notes

Feel free to customize your toppings with keto-friendly options like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños.

For a cheesier taco, consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled cotija or feta cheese on top.

If you prefer your tacos spicier, increase the amount of chili powder or add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
