My gf keeps some goldfish in a water trough outside that has recently been the scene of a toad orgy. Mucho tadpoles. How would these be as food for my Africans? I have Malawi haps, a front and a few mbuna.

Absolutley NOT! Your first concern should be about disease.

Just feed them NLS.

You should be fine.

All fish are opportunists by nature. You think if a tadpole swam by a mbuna in the wild it would say "Nah, i'm a vegetarian."?

Don't make it a huge part of their diet, but as a treat every so often, go ahead.
