Terrific Taco Tuesday Aug 6 2024

Make Sriracha Ranch:

• To a small bowl combine vegan mayo, non-dairy milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh dill, and sriracha. Mix until smooth, and set aside.

Make Kale Slaw:

• To a large bowl combine finely sliced kale and carrots. Add lemon juice and message the kale and carrots with your hands for 1 minute. Add maple syrup and salt, and toss to coat. Set aside.

Make Doritos-Crusted Tofu:

• To a bowl add 120 g (1 cup) of the all-purpose flour and carbonated water. Depending on the flour you used you may need to add more carbonated water until a pancake batter-like consistency. Add in fresh cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, hot chili powder, salt, and pepper – stir to combine. Set aside.
• To another bowl add the remaining 60 g (½ cup) of all-purpose flour and set aside. Then add the crushed Doritos to a third bowl.
• To bread the tofu, first toss in the flour, then coat in batter and then a final toss in the crushed Doritos. Repeat until all the tofu pieces are coated.
• In a pan, add about 1 cm of vegetable or canola oil. Heat over medium-low heat for a few minutes. Working in batches, fry the coasted tofu until golden and crispy on each side. If you are noticing it getting dark really fast, lower the heat a bit. They should take about 2 minutes per side. Transfer fried tofu to a paper towel-lined dish and repeat until all the tofu is fried.

Construct Tacos:

• Using a non-stick pan over medium heat, toast the corn tortillas for about 15-20 seconds per side. You can also follow the instructions on the package for best results.
• To make the tacos, add the kale slaw to a warmed corn tortilla, then top with crispy tofu pieces, avocado, sriracha ranch, and finish with fresh cilantro.
