Method

Your notes
1

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan and prepare your ingredients.

2

Coarsely grate the tofu and pat dry before tossing with half of the olive oil, half of the soy sauce, the cumin and cinnamon.

3

Spread onto a lined baking tray and bake for 30 minutes until firm and crispy.

4

Meanwhile, make the salsa. Mix the cherry tomatoes, diced onion and coriander with a pinch of salt and pepper and the lime juice. Set aside.

5

Make the sauce by heating the remaining oil in a frying pan and adding the sliced onion. Fry for 8 minutes with a pinch of salt.

6

Add the crushed garlic cloves and paprika and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, maple syrup and soy and mix well before adding a splash of water and leaving to simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes.

7

Remove the shredded tofu from the oven and add to the pan to coat in the sauce.

8

Use the residual heat in the oven to heat the tortillas for 2 minutes.

9

To serve, fill the corn tacos with shredded lettuce topped with the tofu mix, some salsa, and sliced avocado. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime juice.
