  • ½ cup natural ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp. white vinegar
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp. onion powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp. chili powder
  • 2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
  • 2 ½ tsp. vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 1 tsp. agave

Nectarine Salsa

  • 2 nectarines diced
  • 1 ½ bell peppers diced
  • ¼ large red onion finely chopped
  • 2 avocados diced
  • 2 tsp. packed finely chopped mint (optional)
  • 2-3 Tbsp. packed, to taste finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp. agave
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • ¾ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, add, add the 1 packaged tofu (diced) and the 2 tsp. oil. Cook over medium heat for approx. 10 minutes until lightly browned, turning gently every few minutes.
  • Sprinkle the ½ tsp. each garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder over the tofu, gently toss, then sprinkle the 1-2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce or tamari evenly over the tofu. Season with salt to taste. Gently stir, and cook an additional three minutes, flipping occasionally.
  • While tofu is cooking, add all Barbecue Sauce ingredients to a small saucepan. Gently simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Once tofu is finished cooking, pour the barbecue sauce over the tofu, reserving some sauce for serving.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the 2 nectarines diced, 1 ½ bell peppers diced, ¼ large red onion finely chopped, 2 avocados diced, 2-3 Tbsp. (packed) finely chopped cilantro, and optional 2 tsp. (packed) finely chopped mint.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 Tbsp. agave, juice of 1 lime, 2 tsp. olive oil, ¾ tsp. kosher salt, ¼ tsp. pepper, and ½ tsp. garlic powder. Pour over the salsa ingredients into the mixing bowl. Gently toss to coat.
  • Divide the barbecue sauce coated tofu pieces among the 4 to 6 tortillas (warm the tortillas first if desired). Divide the Nectarine Salsa over top (leaving any remaining liquid in the bowl). Drizzle remaining barbecue sauce over top.
