Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (light mayo works well too)
  • 2 tsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Tortilla chips or crunchy taco shells, for serving

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Prepare the tofu marinade by combining soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss the pressed tofu cubes in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook tofu cubes in a single layer for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Make the ranch taco dip base by mixing sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning, taco seasoning, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Prep the veggies and toppings: halve cherry tomatoes, shred lettuce, rinse and drain black beans and corn, slice olives, dice onion and avocado.
  6. Assemble the party bowl by spreading a layer of ranch taco dip base in a large serving bowl. Layer shredded lettuce, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced onion, olives, and shredded cheese evenly. Top with crispy tofu cubes, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or taco shells on the side.

Notes

Press tofu well to ensure crispiness. Cook tofu last to keep it warm and crispy. Prepare tofu and dip base ahead of time for convenience. Use dairy-free and vegan substitutes to make the recipe fully vegan. Adjust seasoning and spice levels to taste. Store tofu, dip, and veggies separately for up to 3 days in the fridge.
