Preparation
Ingredients
- 1 block of Soykei extra-firm tofu, grated using a cheese grater
- 1 tsp (5 ml) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (5 ml) chili powder
- Olive oil
- ½ cup (120 ml) Frank’s RedHot-style hot sauce
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
- 6 to 8 small flour tortillas, depending on their size
- 2 cups (500 ml) shredded mild cheddar cheese
Creamy Herb Sauce:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- ½ cup (120 ml) of Greek yogurt
- 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small bunch of fresh dill, chopped
- Fresh chives, chopped, to taste
- The juice of 1 lime
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- A few slices of avocado, to serve
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the grated tofu, smoked paprika and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden and slightly crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce and butter. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter has completely melted.
- Pour the Buffalo sauce over the crispy tofu and toss to coat evenly. Set aside approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the sauce for finishing.
- Fill the tortillas with the Buffalo tofu and shredded cheddar cheese. Fold each tortilla into a taco shape and place on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with the reserved sauce.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tortillas are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Meanwhile, prepare the creamy herb sauce. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, dill, chives and garlic. Mix well and set aside.
- Top the tacos with avocado slices and serve with the creamy herb sauce.
