Drain the tofu and press out excess water by wrapping in a clean lint-free cloth or paper towel and setting a plate or cutting board on top with weighted objects. Allow the tofu to press for at least 10 minutes.
16 oz extra firm tofu
Mix together the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. When the tofu is ready, cut into cubes and place in a shallow dish. Add the marinade to the dish and allow the tofu to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ½ tbsp maple syrup, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder
Preheat oven or air fryer to 400°F (205°C). If using an air fryer, evenly spread out the tofu in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway. If using an oven, place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden, flipping halfway.
Meanwhile, prep the veggies. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, slice in half, then slice in half again, then slice into thin strips. For the cilantro, wash then chop the leaves (and stems if you like). Wash and thinly slice the green part of the green onion.
1/4 red cabbage, 1/2 bunch cilantro, 2 stalks green onions
Assemble the tacos. Warm up your corn tortillas on a skillet or in a microwave, then top with crispy tofu pieces, sliced red cabbage, salsa, chopped cilantro, green onion, and a drizzle of lime juice.
1 lime, 1 cup prepared salsa, 8-10 corn tortillas
