CRISPY TOFU TACOS WITH YOGURT LIME SAUCE
Oct 12, 2023
To make these taco bowls, warm up tortillas and place them over bowls turned upside down. Cover with another bowl to hold them in place and let them cool. They will then keep their shape.
Tostadas are given a fresh makeover in this crispy grilled version of the fried Mexican favourite, topped with our recipe for “cheater” refried beans. This recipe yields four servings for a light dinner, but you can easily double the ingredients to satisfy larger appetites. Serve with extra sour cream, if desired.
Want a lighter take on nachos that's super simple to prepare? Fresh veggies form the base for this updated version, with just enough chips sprinkled on top for a pleasing crunch.
Celebrate the end of the week with this southwestern-style bake that is an all-in-one entree and salad. A crisp lettuce, such as romaine, iceberg or green leaf, works best. If cilantro isn't a family favourite, substitute parsley. Serve with sour cream.
Grilling the vegetables takes little time and yields the great flavour that goes into these veggie-filled wraps. When it's not grilling season, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and broil them for the same amount of time as you would grill them. Pair the wrap with a protein-rich side salad, such as Fruity Quinoa and Feta Salad With Raspberry Vinaigrette.
Simple guacamole is the perfect complement to juicy pork tenderloin and crunchy slaw. To make the guacamole in advance, leave the pit in with the mashed avocado and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning; remove the pit right before serving.
Burritos keep it simple for a casual weekend brunch. You can use either mild or hot sausages or try bratwurst, farmer's or breakfast sausages instead. For extra pizzazz, top with guacamole and sour cream.
These tostadas have a fast bean spread instead of refried beans. The recipe makes twice the amount of spread that you'll need, so save the rest for a quick sandwich spread or for scooping up with toasted pita. Serve topped with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
