Water– the water and tomato paste mix together and thicken once simmered. Maple syrup – we always like at add a little sweetness to our taco meat, feel free to use brown sugar instead. Raw walnuts– the walnuts in this recipe are added right at the end of the recipe to add the perfect amount of crunch to the tofu crumble. Radishes– sliced radishes add a peppery flavor and crunch to any slaw. Banana pepper– who doesn’t love a good banana pepper? It’s perfect in this slaw. Red pepper– slicing any sweet pepper for a slaw is always a good idea. Dressing (apple cider vinegar, lime juice, salt)- the dressing for the slaw is super easy. It’s tart, citrusy, and so complimentary. Street taco flour tortillas- you can really use whatever tortilla you would like, but we highly suggest using street taco flour tortillas. So soft and chewy.
