Steps:
- Press tofu to drain. I place each block on a dinner plate on top of a layer of paper towels, then place more paper towels on top. Then I put 3-4 dinner plates on top and let it press down on the tofu for 20-30 minutes. Slice tofu into 6-7 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a zipper bag or container with airtight cover. If using chicken, add chicken to a zipper bag.
- Make the marinade. Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Pour marinade over tofu and/or chicken. If using half tofu/half chicken, just evenly divide the marinade between the two. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 2 hours.
- Heat grill to medium-high, about 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook tofu and/or chicken until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. We only have one grill, so we always use the left side for my vegetarian stuff, and the right side for the meaty stuff. Remove tofu and/or meat from grill and let cool enough to cut into taco-size pieces (I just cut the tofu pieces in half).
- Place the tortillas on the grill and heat until slightly browned and heated through, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Keep on a plate covered by a damp dishtowel until ready to serve.
- While the tofu/meat and tortillas are cooking, make the slaw. In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients with salad tongs or your clean hands. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- To assemble tacos, grab a tortilla and lay one or two avocado slices on the bottom. Top with a coulple pieces of tofu or chicken, and top with slaw. Serve.
PERFECT GRILLED TOFU
This recipe is very easy to double, though you don't need quite double the marinade: About 1 1/2 times the marinade is perfect for four packages of tofu.

Steps:
- Wrap tofu in a clean dish towel and weight it with something heavy such as a large can; leave it to drain for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together remaining ingredients in a bowl.
- Cut each piece of tofu crosswise into 6 thick slices and put it all in a baking dish. Pour marinade over tofu, turning to coat, and chill, covered, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes or up to 48 hours. Longer is better, but shorter is totally fine.
- Preheat a gas grill on high heat (450 degrees F to 650 degrees F) 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium (325 degrees F to 375 degrees F)--or do whatever the equivalent is if you're using charcoal. Oil grate.
- Transfer tofu from marinade (letting excess drip off and reserving marinade) to grill with a spatula. Cover grill and cook tofu, turning once, until well browned but before grill marks get black, 10 to 15 minutes total. Transfer tofu to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Bring reserved marinade to a boil in a saucepan and boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, about 2 minutes. Pour over tofu and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

GRILLED TOFU TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY
If you love fish tacos, you'll also love this vegetarian version that uses grilled tofu in place of fish. Paired with grilled pineapple salsa and topped with avocado, eating these tacos is like taking a bite out of summer. We recommend freezing the pressed tofu before marinating to give it a meatier texture.

Steps:
- Set the pressed tofu on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Let thaw completely, then cut into ½-inch-thick slabs. (Freezing is optional, but will give the tofu a meatier texture.)
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the lime juice and zest, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, salt, and canola oil.
- Add the tofu to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- While the tofu is marinating, make the grilled pineapple salsa. Brush a grill pan with canola oil and heat over high heat until just smoking. Working in batches, add the pineapple to the hot pan and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, until distinct grill marks appear and the pineapple is beginning to soften. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until grill marks appear on the other side. Transfer the pineapple rings to a cutting board and cut into ¼-inch pieces.
- Transfer the pineapple to a medium bowl, along with the onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, salt, and lime juice and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Grill the tofu: Brush the same grill pan with more canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat until just beginning to smoke. Working in batches, remove the tofu from the marinade and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until distinct grill marks appear. Cut each tofu slab into ½-inch slices crosswise on the diagonal.
- Just before serving, grill the tortillas over medium-high heat until just warmed through and some brown spots appear, about 1 minute per side.
- Assemble the tacos: Fill each tortilla with grilled tofu and top with 2-3 tablespoons of pineapple salsa and 1-2 avocado slices. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
- Enjoy!

GRILLED SWEET ONIONS
These onions are so delicious, we prepare them all year long-on the grill in summer, or in an oven preheated to 350° for the same amount of time in winter. A small salad, a slice of bread, these grilled onions, and you've got a great light meal. -Mary Bilke, Eagle River, Wisconsin

Steps:
- For the tofu: Sandwich each piece of tofu between 2 sheets of paper towels and place on a plate. Top with a second plate and weigh the plate down with a can or a heavy book to press any liquid out of the tofu. Set aside, changing the paper towels every 30 minutes, for 2 hours.
- For the lime sour cream: Whisk together the sour cream and lime zest and juice in a small bowl, then transfer to a squeeze bottle or container. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- For the salsa: Combine the peaches, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice and onion in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the black beans: Saute the onion in the oil in a large skillet until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste. Add the beans and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to partially mash the beans. Cover to keep warm or reheat when ready to serve.
- Make the tofu: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high.
- Cut the tofu into 1-inch-wide logs. Mix the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper together in a bowl, then sprinkle the tofu on both sides with the spice mix. Brush the tofu with a generous amount of olive oil. Oil the grill grates, then place the tofu on the grill and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- To build each taco, spoon some beans onto a tortilla. Top with the tofu and salsa. Drizzle with lime sour cream and serve immediately.
- Place the onions in a jar. Whisk the vinegars together with the sugar, salt and 1 cup water in a bowl until dissolved. Add the peppercorns. Pour over the onions and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours (see Cook's Note). Pickled onions keep about 2 weeks in the fridge.

GRILLED GOCHUJANG TOFU TACOS
Korean-style tacos don't have to be for meat eaters only. This version with tofu and vegetables will satisfy anyone craving a KBBQ taco. You can sub the Cotija cheese for one that's plant-based to make this recipe completely vegan. The smoky-sweet sauce for the tacos is made with gochujang, a Korean fermented hot pepper paste that's as savory as it is spicy.

Steps:
- For the sauce/marinade: Combine the soy sauce, gochujang, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is smooth. You can make this a few days in advance and store it tightly covered in the refrigerator.
- For the tacos: Cut the tofu in thirds horizontally. Blot dry with paper towels then transfer to a large bowl. Add the onion, zucchini, canola oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
- Heat a large grill pan or grill over high heat for about 3 minutes. Decrease to medium heat and wipe the grill pan or grill grates with a lightly oiled towel right before cooking to remove any char and debris. (This will give you great grill marks and help the food from sticking.)
- Carefully grill the tofu, onion, and zucchini until you see char marks on one side, 2 to 3 minutes for the tofu, and about 2 minutes for the vegetables. Flip and repeat until the other side is grilled.
- Move the grilled food to a cutting board. Cut the tofu into medium dice and transfer to a large bowl. Cut the onion and zucchini into small dice and add it to the bowl. Pour in about half of the gochujang sauce (reserve the rest for serving) and toss to combine.
- Spray the tortillas lightly with nonstick spray. Grill for about 30 seconds on each side and place on a platter.
- Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the tofu-vegetable mix. Garnish each taco with a few teaspoons of the reserved gochujang sauce, 1 teaspoon of the Cotija, and some cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges.
