Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Tofu Milanesa.
Step 1
Slice the pressed tofu lengthwise into two slabs, then cut each slab into two triangles.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and taco seasoning. In another shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4
Dip each tofu triangle into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Arrange the coated triangles in a single layer on a plate and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Step 5
Place the tofu triangles in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes on one side. Flip each triangle, spray lightly with cooking spray again, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
