Cilantro-Lime Tofu Sandwiches

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 15 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 pinch of chili powder
  • 1 package (16 oz) extra-firm tofu, sliced into sandwich-sized rectangles
  • 1 avocado
  • Lime juice to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread (or any sandwich bread you like), toasted
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • Handful of spinach leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Combine lime juice, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt and chili powder in a small bowl. Pour into a baking dish and place tofu slices on top.
  • 2
    Spoon some of the marinade on top of the tofu and place the dish in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour (up to 3 hours). Flip over the tofu slices halfway through.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, mash an avocado in a small bowl and add lime juice and salt to taste. Spread avocado mash onto 4 slices of bread. Evenly distribute tomato, onion and spinach on bread slices. Set aside.
  • 4
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove tofu from fridge and place directly on skillet (no extra oil needed for the skillet). Cook tofu until both sides are a golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.
  • 5
    Remove from heat and place on sandwiches. Spoon remaining marinade on sandwiches, if desired. Top with remaining bread slices and serve.

  • These meat-free meals are so good, you'll never look at tofu the same way again.
