Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 serrano chile pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2-1 teaspoon of salt
- One 15-ounce block of extra-firm tofu.
- 50 grams finely chopped red onion

Can you prepare vegan nachos that are spicy and low in calories? It’s definitely possible with a few simple ingredients!
- Sauté the combination of tomatoes, garlic, and chili peppers in a pan. When the tomatoes have reached a caramelized state on all sides, sprinkle a pinch of salt and coarsely mash them to achieve a chunky, salsa-inspired texture.
- Squeeze excess moisture from the block of tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, then crumble the tofu into small curds.
- Combine the sliced red onion with an additional teaspoon of salt; thoroughly blend to combine.
- Arrange the tortilla chips neatly on the plate. Following a quick stir-fry of the vegetables, add the cubes of firm tofu and then gently pour the homemade salsa over the dish, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.
- Adding the creaminess of avocado, the earthy sweetness of black beans, the freshness of cilantro, the crunch of radishes, and a burst of heat from the jalapeño will undoubtedly elevate the dish to new heights?
- Savor your tacos right away, as tortillas tend to become soggy and lose their crisp texture if left sitting in salsa for an extended period.
