Tofu Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (12 ounce) box extra firm tofu
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne
    3 cups finely shredded lettuce or 3 cups cabbage
    2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
    8 soft corn tortillas (6-inch)
    1 cup salsa, of your choice
    1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream (optional)
Preparation
    Rinse tofu, drain in a colander for about 5 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels.
    Cut into 1-inch cubes and lightly blot with more paper towels.
    In a bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and cayenne.
    Add tofu and mix gently to coat cubes completely.
    Let stand 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix lettuce with vinegar.
    Stack tortillas and enclose in plastic wrap.
    Thread tofu cubes equally onto four 8-inch wooden skewers.
    Set a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat.
    When pan is hot, lay skewers in pan and turn as needed to brown tofu on all sides, 5-6 minutes total.
    Transfer to a serving platter.
    Mound lettuce mixture alongside.
    Heat tortillas in a microwave oven at full power until hot and steamy, 30-45 seconds.
    Wrap in a towel.
    Serve with tofu and lettuce, salsa, and sour cream.
    Eat taco style, filling as desired.
