Instructions
- 01
Place tofu on a paper towel or tea towel lined plate. Cover with another towel and place a heavy pan on top to press out excess water from tofu.
- 02
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- 03
Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper and spray another small sheet pan with olive oil. Set aside.
- 04
In a medium bowl, add the onions, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, smoked paprika and cumin. Whisk to combine then crumble the tofu with your hands into small pieces into the mixture. Toss gently to combine and evenly coat the tofu with the sauce.
- 05
Spread tofu in an even layer on the parchment lined sheet pan.
- 06
Place potatoes and jalapeños in an even layer on the small sheet pan.
- 07
Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
- 08
Transfer both sheet pans to the oven and cook for 35 minutes, tossing halfway through and rotating pans to allow for even browning.
- 09
Meanwhile, warm the tortillas (over an open flame, in a pan or in the microwave). I prefer heating mine over an open flame, covering as them as I go to keep them warm.
- 10
Place 2 tortillas each on 4 plates. Layer each tortilla with ½ an ounce avocado, then a layer of tofu then the potatoes and peppers.
- 11
Top each taco with 1 tablespoon salsa and any additional (optional) toppings you desire and serve immediately.

Variations & swaps
Variations:
- Protein: Substitute black beans for tofu for another meat-free alternative or use ground turkey if you prefer.
- Potatoes: If you don’t have a russet potato, Yukon Gold or red potatoes will work.
- Jalapeños: If you want tacos with an extra kick, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeños or swap them for serrano peppers.
- Tortillas: Swap corn tortillas for flour tortillas.
- Avocado: Top your tacos with guacamole instead of sliced avocado.
