Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet chili sauce and spicy mayo create a bold, tangy, and satisfying flavour combination that wins over even reluctant tofu eaters. Some reviewers found the slaw dressing a little light, and a splash of extra lime juice or vinegar can help brighten it up.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward weeknight meal; several reviewers noted that cooking the tofu in an air fryer speeds things up even further.
- Suggestions: Pan-fry the tofu in smaller pieces and a little longer than instructed for a crispier result; some reviewers also crumbled it instead of cubing it with great success. Adding a splash of soy sauce or extra lime juice to the slaw, or toasting the tortillas in a pan, are easy ways to boost overall flavour.
- Leftovers: Opinions are mixed — some reviewers enjoyed the tacos cold the next day, while others noted the tofu softens and the dish is best eaten fresh.
