These healthier tofu nachos are a vegan twist on a classic favorite, featuring crispy tofu cubes seasoned with smoky spices, fresh cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, all topped with a creamy and flavorful smoky avocado cream.

Ingredients: 1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 bag tortilla chips. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced. 1/2 cup red onion, diced. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 1 avocado, peeled and pitted. 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt. 1 tablespoon lime juice. 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke. Salt to taste.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F 200C. Cut pressed tofu into small cubes and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the spice mixture over the tofu cubes and toss until evenly coated. Spread tofu cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tofu is golden and crispy. While tofu is baking, prepare the smoky avocado cream by blending avocado, dairy-free yogurt, lime juice, liquid smoke, and salt until smooth. Once tofu is done, assemble nachos by layering tortilla chips on a serving platter, followed by tofu cubes, diced cherry tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle smoky avocado cream over the top and serve immediately.
