16 ounces of drained firm tofu
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup tequila
4 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon hot sauce
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
For best results with this marinade, remove the excess water from the tofu before marinating. Place the tofu on a firm surface and put a baking sheet on top. On the baking sheet, place four 15 ounce cans on the baking sheet. The weight on the tofu should be enough to cause the sides to bend outward slightly, but does not squash the tofu. Wait one hour to allow the fluid to drain out of the tofu. Take drained tofu and cut into ½ inch thick slices. Combine lime juice, lemon juice, cilantro, garlic and olive oil in a bowl to make marinade. Place tofu slices, side by side, in a large baking dish. Pour marinade into container, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Turn the slices over after the hour and marinade for another 1 to 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375 and place tofu slices on oiled baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes on each side (total 30 to 40 minutes). Serve warm or let cool and store in sealed container no longer than 3 or 4 days.
