Ingredients
  1. 1 14 oz. Brick Firm Tofu, Preferably House Foods Organic
  2. ½ cup chopped Vidalia Onion
  3. 2 Avocados, Sliced, then diced into inch cubes
  4. 2 cups shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  5. 1 cup chopped Tomatoes, seeds removed
  6. 2 Tablespoons ChefXpress Lemony Dill Zip
  7. 4 Tablespoons Water
  8. 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  9. 1 Tablespoon Champagne Vinegar
  10. ¼ cup Nasoya Nayo Whipped Sandwich Spread or Mayonnaise
  11. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce (may be found Vegan), or Steak Sauce
  12. 4-6 large Soft Tortilla Wraps, Sundried Tomato
  13. pinch of Sea Salt
  14. Tooth Picks for holding Tortillas in place
Preparation
  1. Press Tofu in TofuXpress for 2 hours; Remove from TofuXpress and slice lengthwise into ½ inch thick slices.
  2. In a small bowl, blend together Lemony Dill Zip, Water and Vinegar. Let sit 5 minutes. Add Oil and blend till a slightly thick consistency forms. Place Tofu slices in a large bowl or plate with a rim. Spread Dressing over each slice covering all sides.
  3. In a small bowl, blend together Sandwich Spread and Worcestershire Sauce. Set aside.
  4. Place the Avocado cubes in a medium sized mixing bowl. Sprinkle with Sea Salt. Stir gently to keep its cubed form.
Filling Tortillas
  1. Lay a Tortilla on a large plate or cutting board. Spread a thin layer of Mayonnaise onto the Tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges bare. Plan ahead for how you will roll the Tortilla, by leaving about 2 inches at the end of the Tortilla “end” to be folded up once all ingredients are added. Place two or three slices of Tofu onto the Tortilla, close to the side you will begin to roll and centered. Layer 2-3 tablespoons Tomato, 1-2 tablespoons Onion, 2-3 tablespoons Avocado, and 3-4 tablespoons Lettuce.
  2. Roll Tortilla, re-positioning filling as needed and tucking the bottom up to form a pocket halfway through rolling. Use toothpicks to hold wrap in place.

Ingredients
  1. 2 cups raw whole organic Almonds
  2. 1 to 2 cups Water*
  3. Optional Sweetener to taste: (1 tsp. Honey, Agave Syrup, Maple Syrup, Sugar, or Vanilla flavoring.)
  4. TofuXpress Unit with Light Tension Spring
  5. TofuXpress Xpress Deluxe Cheesecloth
  6. Food Processor or Blender
  7. Container to store Milk
  8. Container to store Almond Meal
Preparation
  1. 2 – 4 days prior: Place Almonds in a large bowl. Completely cover Almonds with Water. Use enough Water to leave at least 3 inches of Water covering the top of the Almonds. Soak Almonds in a container, covered, in refrigeration until ready to make the Almond Milk. Soaking will make the Almonds softer and sweeter. When ready to make Almond Milk, drain Almonds and dispose of soaking Water.
  2. *This recipe will make either Almond Milk or Cream by modifying the amount of Water. More Water will make Almond Milk and less Water will make Almond Cream. Use 2 cups Water for Almond Milk and less for Almond Cream.
Instructions
  1. In a Food Processor, blend Almonds and Water till completely ground to a milky consistency and previously visible Almond pieces are gone.
  2. Line TofuXpress with Xpress Cheesecloth large enough to fold over the top of the Milk mixture. Using 1 to 1 ½ cups Almond Milk mixture at a time; pour into TofuXPress Unit. Completely cover with Cheesecloth. Press Almond Milk mixture using the Light Tension Spring to separate the Almond Milk from Almond Meal. Press time will be less than 5 minutes. The Almond Milk will rise up from the Almond Meal that will remain in the Cheesecloth wrap.
  3. While TofuXpress unit is still assembled, pour the Almond Milk directly from the TofuXpress unit into a storage container.
  4. Disassemble TofuXPress unit top, switch the Light Tension Spring out and replace with Regular Spring for final pressing of Almond Meal. Reassemble the TofuXPress unit and press Almond Meal for an additional 10 minutes, pouring off any additional Milk.
  5. Disassemble TofuXPress unit top and unfold Cheesecloth. Spoon out Almond Meal into storage container for future use and refrigerate. See below for additional Almond Meal recipe ideas.
  6. Repeat the above steps with the remaining milky mixture to press the Almond Milk from the Almond Meal.
  7. Use your Almond Milk in recipes calling for Cow’s Milk or Cream.

Ingredients
  1. 1 12 or 14 oz. brick Firm or Extra Firm Tofu (prefer House Foods brand)
  2. 2 ½ cups Blueberries (reserve ½ cup Blueberries for finishing)
  3. ¼ cup Honey
  4. ¼ cup Red Wine
  5. 3-4 tablespoons Veggie Broth Seasoning (ChefXpress brand)
  6. 2-3 tablespoons Butter or vegan Butter
  7. Food Processor
  8. TofuXpress unit
  9. Deep skillet
Instructions
  1. Press 1 brick Tofu in TofuXpress Unit for 1 hour. Remove Tofu from TofuXpress and slice lengthwise and then half each slice to form 4 cutlets. Sprinkle Veggie Broth Seasoning onto all sides of the Tofu cutlets and let rest. The seasoning will help form a “flavor skin”.
  2. In a food processor, combine 2 cups Blueberries and Honey. If the Honey is not liquid in consistency slightly warm the honey in a pan before adding into food processor. Set aside.
  3. Preheat skillet on medium to high heat. Add Butter into skillet and brown, but not burn. Once Butter has turned brown, immediately add Tofu cutlets and brown each side.
  4. After Tofu is browned, scoop 2 tablespoons Blueberry puree atop each Tofu cutlet. Add remaining puree into pan. Add Red Wine into the pan and blend into puree. Pan should still be on medium high heat. Tofu will marinate in and absorb some of the Puree liquid and the rest will and cook down in the pan. When most liquid is absorbed, remove Tofu cutlets from pan and serve. Add remaining ½ cup blueberries atop Tofu cutlets.
