These fried crispy tofu feta tacos are covered in spicy black beans, pico de gallo, cabbage, lime juice, and crumbled feta cheese.
My Story
In 2022, I made close to thirty different tacos over a campfire in one of our National Parks. This recipe, however, was crafted over a stove in an Airbnb on the Gulf Coast of Florida, at the very end of our trip, after leaving a mosquito-infested central Florida campsite. Finally a place to unwind, enjoy the end of our trip indoors, and create our favorite meal, a taco.
Ingredients
- 1 brick of tofu
