Ingredients

FOR THE CILANTRO YOGURT SAUCE

  • 1/2 cup non-dairy yogurt unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño chopped, optional
  • 2 limes juiced
  • salt to taste

FOR THE CHIPOTLE AGAVE TOFU

  • 3 tablespoons oil separated
  • 1-2 tablespoons chipotles in adobo chopped, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons agave or sub maple syrup
  • 1 block extra firm tofu drained & pressed
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

FOR THE TACOS

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2-3 cups green cabbage shredded
  • smashed avocado optional
  • pickled onions optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Set aside.
  • In a bowl combine 1 tablespoon of oil, chipotles, soy sauce & agave. Set aside.
  • Use your hands to crumble the tofu and place it in a bowl. Add the corn starch and toss to coat evenly. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet. Add the tofu and cook until it starts to brown - about 5 minutes. Pour in the sauce and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on how crispy you want it. Be sure to toss it regularly so the sauce doesn't burn.
  • To make the slaw, place the cabbage in a bowl and add about 1/2 of the cilantro sauce. Toss to combine.
  • To serve, heat the tortillas and add smashed avocado, slaw, tofu, pickled onions and more cilantro sauce.
