- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 4 tbsp avocado oil

- 2-3 tbsp unsweetened plant-based yogurt or ( you can also use plain Greek yogurt)
- 1-2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (or to taste)

Instructions
- Cut tofu in about 36 long strips. Line a baking sheet with paper towels
- In a medium bowl, combine garbanzo bean flour, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and sweet paprika
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet
- Dip each tofu strip in the flour mixture until well coated and shake out excess flour. Place them in the hot oil and cook over medium heat, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the lined baking sheet, so the paper towels absorb the excess oil
