Lupe's Kitchen:  Chipotle Tofu Chilaquiles Con Verdolagas (Purslane)

Chipotle Tofu Chilaquiles With Verdolagas
& Cilan
tro Lime Hemp Seed Crema
(Vegan & Gluten-Free)


Verdolagas (purslane) are popular in Mexican cooking but not often used in american cuisine. This edible weed is quite tasty and has many beneficial properties. Researchers have found that there are high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in purslane, at levels higher than in some fish oils, which are widely considered the best source for these beneficial fatty acids. Omega-3s are wonderful in so many ways like lowering your cholesterol. In this dish we usually use tortillas but these days I find that more and more people are using tortilla chips. I prefer using tortillas and instead of frying them, they are baked. 

Ingredients to make 1 serving:
1/2 block of Extra Firm Tofu 
1 small bunch of Purslane (Verdolagas)
3 Corn Tortillas
Olive Oil
Chipotle Salsa to taste

EZ Chipotle Salsa Ingredients:
1 can of Chipotles in Adobo  (7 oz)
2 cups of Chopped tomatoes (or 1 can of Diced Tomatoes)
1/4 Onion
2 Garlic cloves
1/2 cup of Water
a few sprigs of Cilantro
Salt  to taste

Cilantro Lime Hemp Seed Crema:
1/2 cup of Hemp Seeds
Juice of 1 Lime 
a few sprigs of Cilantro
1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup of Water
Salt to taste

Optional Toppings:
Avocado
Lime Wedges
Nutritional Yeast
Hemp Seed Crema
Cilantro

Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take your tortillas and rub a little olive oil on each side. Cut them into quarters and bake for 3-5 min per side until the tortillas are crispy and gol
den brown. 

Make your salsa by putting all the ingredients into a blender and pulse til creamy smooth.

Make your crema by putting all the ingredients into a blender and pulse til creamy smooth. 

Take a frying pan and add as much salsa as you like into it. Add the tofu and use a spatula to break it up into small crumbly pieces while cooking it over medium to low heat. Add your tortillas. Let the whole mixture simmer for a few minutes. Add the purslane and stir it all in to cook for a few more min. 

I serve it with chopped up avocado, cilantro lime crema, lime wedges, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor and a sprig of cilantro.
