Jerk Tofu tacos
This recipe combines tofu with my Chipotle Jerk Seasoning for an easy and yummy vegan meal
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar add a few pinches of salt
- 1 14 oz block of extra firm tofu drained
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Bluewater Pepper Farm Jerk Chipotle Seasoning
- 1 tsp salt plus a few pinches for the onion and cucumber quick pickle
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced/ grated
- 12 corn tortillas the original recipe uses 1 pita per person - I'm using tortillas for gluten free
- chopped cilantro for serving use parsley, chopped green onion or other garnish if you like
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F
- Squeeze tofu over a bowl to get as much water as possible out of it. When you've wrung out as much as you can, tear into 1" chunks and spread out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, then with the Jerk Seasoning and salt.
- Roast in the oven, turning once or twice until it starts to get crispy and browned - about 20 to 25 minutes. (I added some sweet red peppers and mushrooms to the pan at the same time for a veggie side. That's the beauty of sheet pan dinners!) You might want to put the pan up close under the broiler for two minutes to really get it crispy - just take the veggies off first.
- While the tofu's roasting, make your quick pickle by combining the sliced red onion, cucumber and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with a little salt and set aside.
- Next, stir together the yoghurt and garlic in a small bowl and season with a little salt. Set it aside for assembly.
- When the tofu is done, heat up the tortillas. I like to wrap them in a damp kitchen towel and put them in the microwave for a minute or so.
- Assemble by spreading a spoonful of the garlic yoghurt on each tortilla. Then add a few chunks of roasted tofu and top it off with a bit of the onion and cucumber pickle and the cilantro. (I love these taco holders - they make assembly and serving so easy. You can flip them to hold 2 or 3 tortillas.)
