Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the cauliflower

  • Cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets, discarding any leaves or thick stalks.
  • Juice the lime. [Juice 1 lime; save the remaining lime.]
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the cauliflower, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and just tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the cilantro, 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] lime juice, and as much chipotle chile powder as you like and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and any remaining lime juice. Wipe out the pan.
While the cauliflower cooks, prepare the tofu burgers.

2

Cook the tofu burgers; toast the buns

In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu burgers and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan used for the cauliflower, working in batches if needed, place the buns, cut sides down, and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

3

Assemble the burgers

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on a work surface and top with the tofu burgers. Slather with the guacamole and as much barbacoa glaze and pickled jalapeños as you like. Close with the bun tops.

Serve

Transfer the tofu burgers and chipotle cauliflower to individual plates. Serve any remaining glaze and jalapeños on the side.
