This sheet pan meal is really good with the sauce. I love eating this as is, or in a tortilla or over potatoes. And of course add your favorite salsa on top. You can shred the tofu, or crumble it--either way it works great to add more protein and flavor to the dish. Make sure to choose your favorite taco seasoning, since that's the main flavor--and don't skip out on making the sauce. It makes all the difference!
Ingredients
- 1 package Extra Firm Tofu, shredded (press tofu first to remove excess moisture if needed)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2-4 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: cilantro, lime wedges, salsa
For the Sauce:
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup cashews
- ¼ cup salsa
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season Tofu: In a large bowl, toss the shredded tofu with 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors while you cut the bell pepper and onion.
- Add Veggies: Add the tofu along with the bell pepper and red onion to the sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining taco seasoning, salt, and pepper over the veggies and tofu, and toss everything together to combine.
- Roast Together: Add the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and the tofu is slightly crispy.
- Sauce: start making the sauce by combining all ingredients into a high speed blender. BUT just let it sit. Don’t mix it yet. Soaking the cashews beforehand will help make it more smooth.
- Take out of oven and add the other veggies: Take the pan out of the oven. Sitr and then add the corn and beans and then return to the oven and cook for another 5-10 minutes to warm everything up.
- Mix the sauce: While that is cooking, turn on the blender.
- Take it out of the oven: Mix it up one last time then sprinkle the sauce on top. (I put the sauce in a plastic bag, and cut off the corner to spread across)
- Enjoy with tortillas or over rice or potatoes, and garnish with fresh cilantro, salsa, or lime wedges if desired.
