Instructions

  • Drain and dry the tofu. Then, cut it into thin slices.
  • Place tofu slices inside a medium-sized bowl and add 2 tbsp of olive oil, coconut amino or soy sauce, vinegar, and seasonings. Seal it, shake it and place it in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Prepare the mayo ketchup. Add mayo, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder to a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Cover and place inside the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the tripletas.
  • Preheat a large saucepan to medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
  • Add sofrito and saute until fragrant, for about two to three minutes. Add beefless steak tips, sliced portobello mushrooms, and sliced tofu. Add more seasonings to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the bread loaf in half to open them up like a book. Take meat replacements out of the saucepan. Lower heat to low heat. Place the bread in the uncleaned saucepan. Heat bread on both sides for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted.
  • To assemble the tripleta, spread some mayo ketchup over half of the bread. Add meat alternatives, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Add more mayo ketchup, and potato stick.
  • Close your tripleta sandwich and toast again if you like. Enjoy with a salad or potato chips.

Notes

*If you don't have sofrito all you have to do is chop white onions, green peppers, sweet red peppers, and cilantro. 
***Add more seasonings to mushrooms and beefless steak tips when cooking.
