Ingredients

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
  • 3 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 mango, julienned (see Tip)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice, divided
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided
  • 1 small cooked beet, shredded
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • 1 14- to 16-ounce package extra-firm tofu, drained, crumbled and patted dry
  • 2 tbsp salt-free Cajun seasoning
  • 1 avocado, diced

Instructions

  1. Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 400°F.
  2. Brush both sides of tortillas with 1 tablespoon oil and arrange on a baking sheet. (It's OK if they overlap a bit; they will shrink as they cook.) Bake, turning once halfway, until browned and very crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, toss cabbage, mango, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Combine beet, sour cream, garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu, Cajun seasoning and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
  5. Top the tostadas with the tofu, slaw, beet crema and avocado.
