Pressing the tofu is crucial for removing excess moisture and allowing it to absorb the flavors of the spices. Adjust the amount of serrano pepper based on your preferred spice level. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping. Feel free to experiment with different types of mangos for varying sweetness and textures. This filling is delicious with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and your favorite hot sauce. Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving or enjoy cold as a salsa.
