Drain soy curls in a fine-mesh sieve, squeezing gently to remove excess liquid. Return to bowl and add reserved spice mixture; toss to coat soy curls evenly (your hands are great for this).
4
Heat ⅓ cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add spiced soy curls and toss to coat in oil. Spread out into a single layer and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and crisp in spots, 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
5
Build tacos with warm corn tortillas, soy curls, homemade or store-bought salsa, vegan sour cream (if using), thinly sliced radishes, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro. Serve with hot sauce and lime wedges for squeezing over.
