Ingredients

FOR THE BBQ TOFU

FOR THE SLAW

  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo
  • 1 small avocado
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk unsweetened
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage I used a combo of green and red
  • 1/2 cup corn

FOR THE TOSTADAS

  • 8 pre-made tostada shells
  • pickled onions optional
  • lime wedges, cilantro for topping

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Drain and press the tofu. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and break it apart into bite-sized pieces. Allow it to cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes.
  • Add the red onion and seasonings to the pan and cook for 5 more minues. Pour in the BBQ sauce and a splash of water. Toss to coat, lower heat and cook until the sauce starts to crisp slightly.*
  • Meanwhile, add all of the slaw sauce ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Place the shredded cabbage, corn and 1/2 of the sauce in a bowl and toss to combine. Add more sauce if needed and reserve the rest of the sauce for serving.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the tostada shells on a baking sheet and bake for 5-ish minutes, or until heated.
  • To assemble, layer each tostada with BBQ tofu, slaw, pickled onions and more cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

*For crispier tofu: the last 2 minutes before serving, increase the heat and let the tofu get a nice char on both sides. Be sure to keep an eye on it so the sauce doesn't burn.
