Spicy Chipotle Lime Grilled Tofu

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu
  • 0.5 (1 1/4 ounce) package chipotle-flavored marinade (Use McCormick's Grill Mates)
  • 1 lime, juice of, to be divided
  • 4 dashes hot sauce (I used Franks, use what you like. adjust to your liking)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 -2 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method

  1. Cut the tofu into four or five slices. Wrap the slices in paper towel and press them for 20-30 minutes on a cookie sheet, using heavy cans as a weight.
  2. After pressing, combine half the packet of marinade mix with the garlic powder, hot sauce, olive oil, water, and half the lime juice in a small bowl. Add a little more water if the mixture appears too thick. You can adjust the amounts of garlic and hot sauce according to your preference.
  3. Transfer the tofu to a shallow dish or plate and pour the marinade over it, turning the slices to ensure they are fully coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. Cook the tofu on a preheated grill pan or outdoor grill until distinct searing marks form on both sides and the exterior turns crispy. This should take about 10 minutes.
  5. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lime wedges over the freshly grilled tofu for an added burst of citrus flavour.
