Roasted Rainbow Carrot & Tofu Tacos
Cooking Times
Ingredients
- 16 oz block extra-firm tofu
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 5-6 Cal-Organic Rainbow Whole Carrots
- 1 tsp avocado oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- Handful of Cal-Organic Cilantro
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
- 8 soft taco shells
- 1 head Cal-Organic Green Romaine Lettuce
- 1 Cal-Organic Red Onions
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drain and rinse the tofu, then cut into small squares. Add the tofu squares to a small mixing bowl with the coconut aminos, 1 1/2 tsp chili powder, and nutritional yeast. Stir to coat the tofu in the seasonings.
2. Add the tofu to the parchment lined baking sheet in an even layer. Then bake for 30 minutes, or until the tofu is slightly browned on the edges and firm to the touch. Set aside.
3. Prepare the rainbow whole carrots by peeling and chopping into small pieces. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper and add the diced carrots. Drizzle the carrots with the avocado oil and sprinkle with cumin, paprika, and 1 tsp chili powder. Toss them to coat the carrots in the oil and seasonings.
4. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they’re fork tender and slightly charred on the outside.
5. To make the cilantro yogurt sauce, add the yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Process on high until it’s smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until it’s ready to serve.
6. To assemble the tacos, heat tortillas on the stovetop in a pan over high heat for 10-15 seconds on each side. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce and dice the red onion. Transfer the warm tortillas to a plate and fill them with the carrots, tofu, romaine lettuce, red onion, and any other toppings you’d like. Drizzle them with a big spoonful of cilantro yogurt sauce and serve immediately.
7. Store leftovers separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and reheat and recombine before serving. Enjoy!
