Pair warm, intensely smoky, chipotle tofu with soothing smashed avocado. This vegan combo is incredible on toast or in breakfast tacos.

Ingreadient
    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 225g block smoked firm tofu, cut into small cubes
    • 3 tbsp chipotles in adobo
    • ½ tsp sea salt
    • 3 spring onions, finely sliced
    • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
    • Tacos or toast to serve
    • 1 large avocado
    • Grated zest and juice 1 lime
    • Garlic cloves
    • Chilli oil or Korean chilli flakes
    • Chopped coriander, chervil, tarragon, basil or dill
    • Drizzle of tahini
Instruction
    1. For the smashed avocado, cut the avocado in half and discard the stone. Mash the garlic, if using, with ½ tsp salt using a knife or pestle and mortar. Mash with the avocado, then add the lime zest and juice (and, if using, the chilli oil/flakes, herbs and tahini). Season to taste.
    2. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and, when hot, add the olive oil, then the tofu. Fry for a few minutes until crisp, then add the chipotles. Stir-fry for a few minutes, seasoning with the sea salt, then add the spring onions and tomatoes. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 7-8 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve with the smashed avocado, in tacos or on toast.
