I made the BBQ sauce the night before, with agave instead of sugar, and a really good dash of crushed red pepper, and pureed it.
Verdict? Juicy deliciousness! I would bake it longer next time, since I wasn't using the firmest of the firm tofus (Trader Joe's water-packed firm), but yeah, jui-cy!

Don't you like when your throw-together meals turn out so sweet?
Actually, I wish I had added a bit more spice, but with the last bit of a bag of tortilla chips, I crusted this tofu ala Cornmeal Crusted Chili Tofu in Veganomicon, and baked it, covered it in homemade mango black bean salsa, and served it with a big pile of steamed kale with garlic.

My dinner last Thursday night - The Long Ranger from Chaos Cafe. The review is up now on Stumptown Vegans, and this dish is basically kickass.
This one is pretty uninspired, coming out a reminder of the leftover Breakfast Chorizo in my refrigerator: Baked Whole Wheat Tortilla Pizza with lowfat refried beans, breakfast chorizo, black olives and Veganomicon Cheezy Sauce.
Tonight, I'm thinking BBQ tofu again.

your baked tortilla tofu looks GORGEOUS and delicious with the mangos and black beans!
Your tofu posts always make me wanna get back on the baked tofu kick I had many years ago. I simply tofu-ed myself out. Maybe I'm ready again.
Everything looks so good Jess!
Oooh, tortilla tofu! My husband would love that & we have a plethora of chips right now. Is it the v-con recipe, sub chips for cornmeal?
He'd also be down for a combo of his favorites- pizza & mexican food!
The tortilla crusted tofu with the mango salsa is turnin' my taste buds on!
I have been on a Brussels Sprouts kick lately with the Cornmeal Masala variation from Veganomicon. I want to try garlic roasting them now! Now if I could just get my crusted tofu to look like yours!
Wow. Everything looks divine. It makes me wonder why nobody opens a restaurant and makes these things. Oh wait... they do. Just not in BOSTON! ::pout::
The tofu has me salivating the most. I love breading things. It takes the flavour to a whole new level.
the Baked Tortilla Tofu looks like something i could get addicted to.
oh my god, you cook and eat soooo well!! AMAZING!!
these have to be some of the BEST looking "throw-together" meals (and meals, in general) I have EVER seen - especially with the brussels sprouts (my favorite!!)
That tortilla tofu looks amazing! Ooh and pizza...yum.
Hi Jess,
Your food looks AMAZING as always!
You seem to have lots of experience cooking from Veganomicon. I am wondering if you could please tell me what dishes would be appropriate for a potluck? There is one other vegetarian besides me, everyone else is omni.
Thanks for your help!
Sarah
I love brussels sprouts so much, so of course I am attracted to any post with any mere mention of them. But the Tortilla tofu kept me coming for more. Awesome!
Hi Sarah -
For a mostly omni potluck, where I assume you're wanting finger type foods, check out the Panko Stuffed Mushrooms, empanadas, autumn rolls, rustic white beans or some grain dishes - like the isreali cous cous. Or of course, dessert...:cough: smlove pie, apple gallettes..
have fun!
Pretty helpful material, much thanks for this article.
