Preparation

Press a block of tofu for 20-30 minutes to remove excess moisture, then slice and marinate in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Check for golden brown edges and heated interior, approximately 12-14 minutes total.

Assembling

Spread vegan mayo on the bottom half of each bun, layer BBQ tofu, slaw, avocado, and dill pickles on top.
Ensure toppings are heaped high for satisfaction.

Serving

Serve immediately while tofu is warm. Optionally pair with air fryer French fries or potato salad.
