Ingredients

Tofu Faux Fish

  • 20 oz extra firm tofu
  • 12 oz pale or amber beer
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • canola oil for frying

Red Cabbage Slaw

  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar

Toppings

Instructions

  • Empty beer into a shallow container. Cut tofu into 2” pieces and marinate in beer for at least one hour.
  • Meanwhile assemble the Cashew Sour Cream according to directions and the Red Cabbage Slaw by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Once tofu has marinated, remove pieces from beer and toss in flour mixture to coat.
  • Heat canola oil in a medium sauce pan until very hot – you want about ½ inch of oil filling the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and carefully add coated tofu in batches. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Remove from oil, place on a towel to let excess oil drip and repeat until all the tofu is done.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing about 4 pieces of fried tofu on the bottom of a corn or flour tortilla. Add a heaping spoonful of Red Cabbage Slaw and top with Cashew Sour Cream, cilantro, fresh lime juice, and hot sauce of choice.
  • Eat immediately.
