The story of these vegan fish tacos begins in the bustling streets of Mexico City.

The crispy tortillas, the tender fish, and the flavorful salsa were all perfectly balanced, and I couldn't get enough of them.

Why It Works
The tofu is pressed and cut into 1-inch cubes to give it the texture of fish.
The tofu is then coated in a flavorful blend of olive oil and taco seasoning.
The tofu is baked in a hot oven until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside, but tender and juicy on the inside.
The mango salsa is made with fresh mango, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice, and it adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the tacos.
