Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil and your desired amount of taco seasoning mix until they are evenly coated with the spices.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  4. Prepare Tofu: Drain excess water from the tofu and crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
  5. Sauté Tofu: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and sauté for a few minutes until it begins to crisp up slightly.
  6. Season Tofu: Stir in tomato paste and a splash of soy sauce, then season generously with taco seasoning mix. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is well combined with the flavors and heated through.
  7. Make Fresh Salad: In a bowl, combine the chopped red onion, tomatoes, and bell pepper.
  8. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salad and toss gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
  9. Refrigerate Salad: Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add salt, pepper, and any additional spices only just before serving to keep the vegetables fresh and crisp.
  10. Prepare Sauce: Mix Sriracha sauce with mayonnaise to create a spicy, creamy sauce to complement the meal.

Notes

  • Use firm tofu for the best texture when crumbled.
  • The taco seasoning can be store-bought or homemade; adjust spice levels according to preference.
  • Adding salt and other spices to the salad just before serving prevents it from becoming watery.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure soy sauce used is gluten-free.
  • Feel free to customize the fresh salad with additional veggies like corn or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
