Ingredients
  

For the “fish”:

  • 1 block firm tofu or 1 can banana blossom drained, pressed if using tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the pineapple salsa:

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño deseeded, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • Salt to taste

Other essentials:

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Optional: vegan sour cream extra lime wedges, shredded cabbage

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the "fish": Combine lime juice, oil, soy sauce, paprika, garlic, and salt. Coat tofu or banana blossom. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Grill the “fish”: Heat a skillet. Sear pieces 4–5 minutes each side until golden and slightly crispy. Try not to eat it all here.
  • Make salsa: Mix pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Toss like you mean it.
  • Warm tortillas: Toast in a dry pan for 20–30 seconds per side or microwave (but we’re judging a little).
  • Assemble tacos: Add grilled “fish,” spoon pineapple salsa, layer avocado, and cabbage if using. Finish with lime and optional vegan sour cream.
  • Serve immediately: Because cold tacos are a crime against tastebuds.

💡 Additional Notes & Tips

  • Banana blossom is eerily good at faking fish texture—go wild.
  • Add shredded purple cabbage for crunch and Instagram clout.
  • Make the salsa ahead of time—it gets sassier as it sits.
  • Want it spicy? Leave the jalapeño seeds in and act tough.
  • Store components separately so your leftovers don’t go soggy and sad.
