Grilled Chipotle Tofu Tacos with Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

• 14 oz extra-firm tofu
• 2 peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 8 tortillas corn tortillas
• 2 whole avocado
• 2 whole lime
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 1 whole jalapeño

Instructions

1. 1

   Press the tofu: Wrap the extra-firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

2. 2

   Prepare the marinade: In a blender, combine 2 chipotle peppers (with some adobo sauce), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Cut the pressed tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the chipotle marinade over the tofu, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   While the tofu is marinating, prepare the avocado salsa: Dice 2 avocados, 1 medium red onion, and 1 jalapeño (seeds removed). In a bowl, combine the diced ingredients with the juice of 2 limes and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside.

5. 5

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

6. 6

   Grill the marinated tofu slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.

7. 7

   While the tofu is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

8. 8

   Assemble the tacos: Place grilled tofu slices in the center of each warm corn tortilla, and top with the avocado salsa.

9. 9

   Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and cilantro for garnish.
