1 1/2 tbsp potato starch or cornstarch

1 1/2 tbsp avocado oil

2 poblano peppers

1/2 cup pepitas

2 cloves garlic

1/3 cup cilantro, woody stems removed

Handful of chives

3 scallions, roughly chopped

Juice and zest of 1 lime

2 tbsp nutritional yeast, optional

1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk or plant-based yogurt

Kosher salt

3 cups green cabbage, shredded

1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced

2 scallions, thinly sliced

8-10 corn tortillas

步驟

Preheat the oven to 425F. Place the pumpkin seeds in a bowl and cover with hot water while you prepare the other ingredients.

Tear the tofu into 1 inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl (or large airtight container with lid). Drizzle the tofu with the tamari, lemon, garlic and cilantro then toss to coat (or seal container and gently shake to coat). Allow the tofu to sit in the marinade for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle the tofu with the starch and oil then toss again to evenly coat (or seal and shake). Once coated, place the tofu on a parchment lined baking tray, giving space between each piece. Bake for 20 minutes then flip the tofu and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a dry heavy bottom pan over medium heat then place the poblanos on top and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes. Flip then cook again for another 5-6 minutes or until charred on both sides. Once cooked, place in a bowl, cover and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Once safe to handle, peel the skin off the peppers and remove the stem and seeds.

Place the poblano pepper, pepitas, garlic, cilantro, chives, scallions, lime, nutritional yeast, milk and 1/2 tsp kosher salt into a high speed blender cup. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth. If too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time until the sauce is to your desired consistency.

To a mixing bowl add the shredded cabbage, cilantro, and scallions. Pour 1/3 cup of the sauce over the cabbage mixture and toss well with your hands, massaging the sauce into the cabbage until slightly softened.

Heat up the tortillas according to package instructions then layer them with some of the cabbage slaw, some of the tofu pieces and extra sauce as desired then enjoy.
