vegan, hearty and super delicious stuffed baked potatoes

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Wash the potatoes, pierce each one all over with a fork, and rub a little salt into the skin. Bake on a baking sheet for about 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the skin is as crispy as possible. In the meantime, dice and deseed the tomatoes for the salsa. If using small date or cherry tomatoes, you can skip the deseeding. Finely chop the shallot, coriander, and chili and mix well with the tomatoes in a small bowl. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and set aside. For the potato filling, finely chop the tomato and onion. Mix in a bowl with the crushed garlic and finely diced tofu and set aside. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place the flesh in a large bowl and drizzle with the lemon juice. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the potato halves with a spoon and add the contents to the bowl with the avocado. Mash the mixture using a potato masher or a fork. Stir in the tofu, garlic, onions, and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fill one potato half with the mashed potatoes. Arrange the lettuce leaves on top and place the other potato half on top. Place on a plate with some salsa and garnish with cilantro, if desired. Tip: We simply fill the other potato half with some salsa and cilantro and then place it on top.
