Instructions
-
For the paneer (or tofu) marination, mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Put in the pieces of paneer (or tofu) and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Overnight would work great too.
-
Preheat the oven to 350.
-
Blend all of the ingredients for the avocado crema in a food processor. Set aside in a separate bowl.
-
Mix all of the ingredients for the slaw and set aside in a separate bowl.
-
For the veggie filling, grill everything in a saucepan on high heat until the vegetables have browned and flavors are incorporated. Set aside in a bowl.
-
Grill the paneer (or tofu) for 7-8 minutes in a baking tray. It should get a nice char on the outside. This step can also be done on the stove too with a pan. Either way, don’t dry out the paneer.
-
Time to assemble! Grill the tortillas and add a layer of slaw. Then top it with the vegetables and pant, finally drizzling it with the crema. Garnish with some jalapeños, lime, radish, and feta!
