• 1/2 cup of raw cashews

Instructions

1. Over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic and bell peppers and cook for a few more minutes.
2. Using a cheese grater or your hands, press your tofu and shred it.
3. Include your tofu, fire-roasted tomatoes, and taco seasoning in the vegetable mixture.
4. The raw cashews and water should be blended together until the cashew cream is smooth. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you should first soak the cashews for 15 minutes in boiling water.
5. Add a handful of chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime to the cashew cream mixture. Combine by mixing.
6. Roll up your tortillas tightly after adding the tofu mixture!
7. To prevent the rolled taquitos from unraveling, place them side by side in a greased baking dish. Brush some olive oil on top for color (or omit it for oil-free).
8. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
9. Blend all of the ingredients for the avocado cilantro dip while you wait.
10. Serve the taquitos when they have turned golden and crispy! You can serve them in a pyramid with toppings on top or separately with salsa and guacamole on the side!
