Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Potatoes

  • 1.75 lbs (800g) Potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
  • Taco Seasoning Mix, to taste (including Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, Chili Powder, Cumin)

Crumbled Tofu

  • 1.75 lbs (800g) Firm tofu
  • 2 tsp Olive oil
  • 0.7 oz (20g) Tomato paste
  • Soy sauce, to taste
  • Additional Taco Seasoning Mix, to taste

Fresh Salad

  • 1 large Red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large Tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 Bell pepper, chopped
  • Juice of 1 whole lime
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper and additional spices, to taste (add just before serving)

Sauce

  • Sriracha mixed with Mayonnaise, to taste

Instructions

  1. Roasting the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil and taco seasoning until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for 25-30 minutes until golden, crispy, and cooked through, turning halfway to ensure even cooking.
  2. Preparing the Crumbled Tofu: Drain the tofu thoroughly and crumble it into small pieces. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the crumbled tofu and sauté for several minutes until it begins to brown and crisp slightly. Stir in the tomato paste and a splash of soy sauce, then season generously with additional taco seasoning. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until well combined and heated through.
  3. Making the Fresh Salad: In a bowl, combine the finely chopped red onion, chopped tomatoes, and chopped bell pepper. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the vegetables and toss gently to mix. Refrigerate the salad in a sealed container to maintain freshness. Add salt, pepper, and any additional spices just before serving to prevent it from becoming watery.
  4. Preparing the Sauce: Mix sriracha sauce with mayonnaise according to your preferred spice level. This sauce adds a creamy, spicy finish to your taco meal.
  5. Serving and Assembling: Serve the roasted potatoes and crumbled tofu alongside the fresh salad. Drizzle with the sriracha mayo sauce or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful, high-protein taco meal prep!

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice levels in the taco seasoning and the sriracha mayo sauce to your preference.
  • Firm tofu works best for crumbling and sautéing; pressing the tofu before use helps remove excess moisture for better texture.
  • Store all components in separate airtight containers for up to 4 days to keep freshness.
  • For gluten-free, ensure your soy sauce is tamari or gluten-free certified.
  • Adding avocado slices or shredded lettuce can enhance the salad or serving options.
