Vegan Fajita Ranch Tacos
Description
These tacos build around extra-firm tofu that is pressed to remove moisture, allowing for improved grilling and texture. The tofu is sliced, coated with avocado oil and fajita seasoning, then grilled until char marks appear. Bell peppers and red onion wedges are similarly tossed in oil and seasoning and grilled until tender and slightly caramelized.
The vegan ranch sauce is crafted by blending soaked slivered almonds with water, canned green chiles, lime juice, dried dill, garlic and onion powders, and salt until creamy. This sauce adds a fresh, tangy, and herbaceous note that contrasts with the smoky grilled ingredients.
The assembled tacos use warmed white corn tortillas filled with grilled tofu, peppers, and onions, crowned with avocado slices, jalapeño, cilantro, and a drizzle of the green chile ranch sauce. This combination delivers a satisfying vegan entrée featuring layered flavors and balanced textures.

Green Chile Vegan Ranch Sauce:
- 1 cup slivered almonds Open Nature® brand
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons water
- 1 (4-ounce) can green chiles O Organics® brand
- 2 tablespoons lime juice fresh
- ½ teaspoon dried dill O Organics® brand
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder O Organics® brand
- ½ teaspoon onion powder O Organics® brand
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Press the tofu. Wrap each block of tofu in a kitchen towel or paper towels. Place a heavy cast iron skillet on top and let it sit for 30 minutes. This helps squeeze excess water out of the tofu, which keeps it from sticking to the grill.
- Make the sauce. Place the almonds, water, green chiles, lime juice, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a high-speed blender and blend until creamy. Chill until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut each tofu block into 4 slabs and place on a tray or plate. Drizzle the tofu with half the avocado oil and sprinkle with half the fajita seasoning. Use your hands to coat both sides.
- Place the peppers and onions in a large bowl and toss with the remaining avocado oil and fajita seasoning.
- Spray the grill grates well. Grill the tofu for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until char marks form. Remove from the grill and cut into strips.
- Grill the peppers and onions for 7 to 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until tender and charred. Squeeze lime juice over the peppers and season to taste.
- Assemble tacos in the tortillas with the tofu, peppers, onions, avocado slices, dollops of the sauce, jalapeños, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and the remaining sauce.
