TOFU TOSTADO
These BBQ Tofu Tostadas are layered with crispy BBQ tofu, cilantro lime coleslaw, pickled onions and fresh cilantro. An easy vegan dinner!
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

- 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.
