Ingredients

1 14 ounce block extra firm tofu, drained

2 100% whole grain rolls, sliced or 4 whole grain pitas

1 avocado, sliced (optional)

For the BBQ Sauce:

1 cup low sodium or no-salt-added tomato sauce

1 apple, cored and quartered

1/4 cup raisins

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons prepared mustard

1 teaspoon coconut aminos

1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

For the Crunchy Slaw:

3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage or packaged cole slaw or brocoli slaw mix

2 tablespoons raw cashew butter

1/2 teaspoon coconut aminos

1 teaspoon lime juice

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

3 tablespoons warm water

pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels for 20 minutes to remove excess water. Slice tofu in 1/2 inch slices and place on a parchment-lined baking dish.

Blend tomato sauce, apple, raisins, vinegar, mustard, coconut aminos and chipotle chili powder in a high-powered blender until smooth.

Spoon mixture on top of tofu slices and let marinate for 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until golden, turning halfway through baking.

In a small bowl, whisk together cashew butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, rice vinegar, water and cayenne pepper until smooth. Add shredded cabbage and toss.

Place tofu slices on rolls (serve open face) or in pita pockets. Top with coleslaw and if desired, avocado slices.
