Beer Battered Tofu Tacos w/ Pineappple Pico de Gallo! You can find the tofu battering instructions here.
This dish is good for splurge or reward, it isn’t in any way a diet dish (with the exception of the pineapple salsa).
So here it is:

Here is what mine looks like. The longer the salsa sits, the more the flavors mix together! It compliments the tacos greatly, but is wonderful with tortilla chips! Enjoy!
