The avocado adds a creamy richness, and the warm tortillas bring it all together. These tacos are perfect for a quick and healthy meal.

The inspiration for these tacos came to me one day when I was craving something crispy and flavorful. I had some tofu in the fridge, and I thought, why not try making tofu tacos? I experimented with different spices and seasonings, and I finally came up with a combination that I loved. The crispy tofu is the perfect contrast to the creamy avocado, and the warm tortillas bring it all together. These tacos are now a staple in my meal rotation, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
