- Fry the Tofu: Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 Tbsp. olive oil and tofu to hot pan. Wipe mixing bowl clean and reserve. Stir occasionally until tofu is golden brown and crispy, 6-9 minutes. Transfer to reserved mixing bowl and toss with taco seasoning. Wipe pan clean and reserve.
- Re-heat pan used to fry tofu to a medium-high heat. Place tortillas in hot pan and toast, 30 seconds per side.
- Make your tacos, starting with the tufu, then cabbage mix and sriracha mix. Top with cilantro and cheese, and Bon appétit!
