I can eat tacos all year round and when it comes to creating the perfect taco, the possibilities are endless. They always taste great. Thanks to the fruity berry salsa, this recipe is perfect for summer. The salsa goes beautifully with the chilli-infused beetroot and hearty fried tofu. You can alter the toppings to suit. I decided to garnish the dish with black beans and avocado to finish.
