Method
- For the smashed avocado, cut the avocado in half and discard the stone. Mash the garlic, if using, with ½ tsp salt using a knife or pestle and mortar. Mash with the avocado, then add the lime zest and juice (and, if using, the chilli oil/flakes, herbs and tahini). Season to taste.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and, when hot, add the olive oil, then the tofu. Fry for a few minutes until crisp, then add the chipotles. Stir-fry for a few minutes, seasoning with the sea salt, then add the spring onions and tomatoes. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 7-8 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve with the smashed avocado, in tacos or on toast.
