• 1 small red onion, finely diced
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 c. BBQ sauce

Slaw:

• 1/2 bunch cilantro
• 1 jalapeño, roughly chopped
• 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/2 c. mayo
• 1 small avocado
• 1/4 c. milk
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/4 tsp. salt

• 1 c. corn

Tostadas:

• 8 pre-made tostada shells
• Pickled onions
• Shredded cheese

Directions:

• Drain and press the tofu. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and break it apart into bite-sized pieces. Allow it to cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 more minutes.
• Add the red onion and seasonings to the pan and cook for 5 more minutes. Pour in the BBQ sauce and a splash of water. Toss to coat, lower heat and cook until the sauce starts to crisp slightly.*
• Meanwhile, add all of the slaw sauce ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Place the shredded cabbage, corn and 1/2 of the sauce in a bowl and toss to combine. Add more sauce if needed and reserve the rest of the sauce for serving.
• To assemble, layer each tostada with BBQ tofu, slaw, pickled onions, and drizzle with slaw sauce, if desired.
