Curry Tofu Tacos with Avocado Slaw
Serves: 4-6 people
Cook Time: 1 Hour
Ingredients
(2) 14 oz. packages of extra firm tofu
(6) tablespoons of soy sauce or tamari
(4) tablespoons of olive oil
(4) teaspoons of curry powder
(6) cups of shredded kale
(4) cloves of garlic
(2) avocados
(4) tablespoons of tahini (or almond butter works great too)
(4) tablespoons of red wine vinegar
(1) lime
(1) white onion
(1) bunch cilantro
Corn tortillas (get enough so each person can have 2-3 tacos)
Salt, to taste
Tools
(2) large mixing bowls
(1) baking sheet
Parchment paper
Food processor or blender
(4) large ramekins or small serving bowls
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Slice tofu long ways into 1” wide strips. Place tofu on a rimmed, greased baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, turning over halfway through.
While the tofu cooks, wash, destem, and slice the kale into shreds. Lay kale out on paper towels to remove excess moisture while you prep the dressing.
In a food processor (or blender), pulse the garlic to chop, then add in (1) avocado, tahini, red wine vinegar, the juice of ½ a lime, ½ cup of water, and salt to taste. Blend until smooth. Add extra water as needed in order to get a thick but pourable consistency. Place the kale in a large bowl and cover with the dressing. Massage the dressing into the kale for about 30 seconds (it’s easiest to do with your hands).
In another large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, and curry powder. Toss the tofu in the mixture until fully saturated. Allow to sit and soak in the additional sauce while you prep the rest.
Slice the second avocado, onion, cilantro, and ½ a lime. Place into small serving bowls.
Place the corn tortillas in a stack on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a large microwave-safe bowl or pasta dish. Microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flip stack over, and heat for another 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Place 2-3 strips of tofu, a scoop of slaw, diced avocado, onion, and cilantro into each tortilla. Enjoy!
