Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Press your extra-firm tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Chop the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine finely chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and vegan mayo to create a marinade. Toss the pressed tofu cubes in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Arrange the marinated tofu cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 15 minutes, shaking halfway.
  4. Warm your tortillas on a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20-30 seconds.
  5. Assemble the tacos by filling warm tortillas with crispy tofu and your favorite toppings.
  6. Serve immediately while warm, garnished with cilantro if desired.
