Method

1
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the cilantro and slice the avocado.

Whisk the lime juice, vegan mayo, gochujang and olive oil together. Add water a little at a time until it drizzles easily. Heat in a pan if you prefer.
3
Crumble the super-firm tofu into a hot nonstick pan and cook, stirring, until heated through and lightly golden.
4
Stir in the turmeric and liquid aminos, then season with salt and pepper. Cook 2 more minutes.
5
Warm the tacos in a dry pan or the microwave until soft and pliable.
6
Spread hummus on each taco, then add the super-firm tofu.
7
Top with kimchi, cucumber, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro.
8
Drizzle with the gochujang sauce and serve right away.

Storage

Keep the tofu, sauce and toppings in separate containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble fresh.

Good to know

Add the water to the sauce a little at a time so it does not get too thin.
Warm the tortillas just before filling so they do not crack.
