Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
Heat oven to 220°C. Peel and cut sweet potato into 2cm cubes; toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, half the salt, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and chilli powder. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.
- Step 2
While the sweet potato roasts, press tofu if needed, then pat dry and cut into 2cm cubes. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic powder, remaining salt, and the juice of 1 lime. Add tofu and toss to coat.
- Step 3
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then fry tofu for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and slightly crisp.
- Step 4
Make the slaw: finely shred red cabbage and thinly slice red onion. Roughly chop coriander. Toss cabbage, onion, coriander with apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and the juice of remaining lime. Taste and adjust with a little pepper.
- Step 5
Warm tortillas in a dry pan for 30–45 seconds per side (or wrap in foil and heat briefly in the oven).
- Step 6
Assemble tacos: pile tortillas with roasted sweet potato and crispy tofu. Spoon over lime-coriander slaw and serve immediately.
