Elaboración paso a paso
- Start by draining the tofu and pressing it to remove excess moisture. You can do this by placing the tofu between two plates and setting a heavy object on top (like a can or a skillet) for about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, use a tofu press if you have one.Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into cubes or slices, depending on your preference.
- In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, dried oregano, olive oil, and salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.Place the tofu pieces in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the tofu, making sure all pieces are evenly coated.
- After marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the marinated tofu over rice, with black beans, and top with fresh corn salad for a complete and delicious vegan meal.

Other ways to cook the Chipotle Marinated Tofu:
- Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the tofu on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until grill marks appear and the tofu is heated through.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tofu is golden and slightly crispy.
