Fancy Tacos

Probably not to everyone's taste. The tofu was on sale, I was informed, and was only a little bit expired.

"The Meat"

• Tofu, pressed and drained, cubed
• nutritional yeast
• red pepper, black pepper, other spices to taste
• corn oil
• white wine vinegar

Marinade the tofu, then freeze it for 20 to 30 minutes. This thickens up the texture of "the meat", but the freezing process isn't a good fit for the oil.

• equal parts flour and cornmeal

Egg whites would help the above stick to the tofu better. Or to dip the tofu in oil and then the breading?

Bake the tofu at 400F until done; the recipe I looked at said 5-7 minutes and then a turn and 5-7 more minutes, but the tofu was hardly browned. Maybe the humitidy was too low, and so the oven needed a pan with water in it?
