We love a tostada! A little messy…but that’s what forks are for! These tostadas are made with crispy, pan-fried tofu that is seasoned, then drizzled with pre-made BBQ sauce. The slaw is a mix of red cabbage, green cabbage, corn and a cilantro lime sauce. And I topped them off with pickled red onions. Simple and delicious!

Some other toppings that go well are:

  • salsa
  • hot sauce
  • avocado
  • radish slices

For BBQ Tofu

  • 1 Block Firm Tofu drained & pressed
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
  • 1 Red Onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce

For Slaw

  • 1/2 bunch Cilantro
  • 1 Jalapeno roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Mayo
  • 1 small Avocado
  • 1/4 cup Non-dairy Milk unsweetened
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

For Tostado

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 ½ 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.
