Ingredients
- 12 ounces firm tofu, drained and cut into 8 slices
- 4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
- 1 small bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 limes, 1 zested and juiced, 1 cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Eight 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
- 1/4 cup jarred salsa verde
Instructions
- Lay the tofu slices flat on a stack of paper towels; top with more paper towels, then put a heavy skillet on top to press out the excess water, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw, radishes, cilantro, scallions, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime zest and half of the lime juice in a large bowl. Mix the yogurt with the remaining lime juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the tofu on all sides with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the tofu and cook until it begins to crisp, about 5 minutes; flip and cook 2 more minutes. Cut into strips.
- Toast the tortillas in a dry skillet, 1 minute per side, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave, 1 minute. Fill with the tofu, cheese and slaw, then drizzle with the yogurt sauce and salsa. Serve with the lime wedges.

Awesome recipe
My husband absolutely loved these tacos! He said each bite was an absolute delight and the presentation beautiful. I was so pleased by his comment I just had to share this with you. He also said that each bite has such great flavor and one ingredient did not overpower the other. This was greatest compliment he has given to me on my cooking. Thanks for the help!! Ps: it was super easy to make too. Enjoy! I would love to share a photo.
Delicious! It’s a bit of effort but well worth it

This is an amazing. However, I did things a little differently. I added the yogurt and lime straight into the Cole slaw mix. And instead of making it in a tortilla, I used tortilla chips and it was deconstructed. Very refreshing!!
I liked the slaw. Would not try the tacos again. I usually marinade my tofu longer to absorb the taste. Maybe that would have helped the taste.
