3. Heat a deep pan and add vegetable oil
4. Soak tofu strips into a bowl beer, then into the flour mixture and repeat a few times ensuring it’s completely covered
5. Carefully place the tofu in the oil pot, repeat until the pan is filled
6. Fry for a few minutes until its a lovely golden brown colour then flip them on the other side
7. When the tofu looks cooked, transfer to a plate to cool and sprinkle with sea salt.

For the pico de Gallo:

It’s pretty simple: chop all the ingredients up into a bowl! Drizzle with some olive oil if you’d like!

Then start assembling the tacos with your choice of salad and chow down!
