Wish Tacos

I wish I had been able to get a picture that did these justice!

Yes, I'm calling these Wish Tacos; not because I wish they were actually fish (which is obviously where I got the inspiration for these), but because I wish someone was serving these to me on a tropical beach with a Corona.


Ingredients (for 12 tacos in small corn tortillas):

• 1lb firm tofu, pressed
• 2 recipes Taco Slaw (see previous post)
• 12 small corn tortillas
• 2 Tbsp canola oil
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 Tbsp chopped Nori (dry seaweed)
• black pepper
• cumin
• fine sea salt

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375 and prep a baking sheet with a little nonstick spray. Mix the bread crumbs, chopped Nori, and a couple pinches of black pepper, cumin, and sea salt in a shallow dish. Cut the tofu into 12 thin rectangles (lay the tofu down on its wide side and cut short rectangles). Brush the tofu slices with oil, then lay them in the bread crumb mixture and coat all sides. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for approx 15-20 minutes on each side, until they are firm and the bread crumbs are golden.

When the tofu is almost done, heat a skillet on low (or med-low if you don't have a crazy hot stove like I do). Remove the tofu from the oven and start heating the tortillas in the skillet. I used one slice of tofu in each tortilla and then heaped on the taco slaw.

I thought these were great with just those simple ingredients but there are lots of other things you could do:
You could garnish these with a little cilantro or be really wild and add some mango salsa. If you like things spicy, you could add a little paprika to the bread crumb mixture, or even mix a little Sriracha with the canola oil and brush it on the tofu. How do you like them? I'd love to hear about other variations!
