Cilantro lime grilled Tofu Tacos

Time preparation: 2 hours for marination
Cooking time: 20 minutes for cooking
What you'll need: (For the Tofu)
1 Block of firm or extra firm Tofu
1 tbsp of olive oil
juice of one whole lime
2 tbsp of fresh cilantro
2 tsp of chili powder
1 tbsp of blackened seasoning
1 tbsp of cumin
1 tsp of minced garlic
couple drops of siracha!
salt and pepper to taste

For everything else:
One zucchini
One small poblano pepper
Half of a small onion(red or yellow)
1 tsp of minced garlic
1 can of black beans
Salsa of any sorts
Half of a can of diced tomatoes
1 tsp of cumin
1 cup of rice
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
More fresh cilantro
Tortillas

1. First marinate the tofu. Cut the tofu into cubes or into 4 slabs. Whisk together all of the ingredients and coat the tofu well. Marinate in the fridge for up to two hours or more.

**mmm tofu...**

2. Place tofu on grill (I use my George Foreman, ironic no?) and it will be perfectly fine if you cook it on the stove as well so no worries if you don't have a grill or like to grill.

3. Cook the cup of plain rice separately (add salt and pepper while its boiling to give it some flavor) and put black beans, salsa, and cumin in a medium pot on low heat.

4. Heat a skillet up to medium heat and pour a tbsp of olive oil along with minced garlic. Chop the onion, zucchini, and the pobalano pepper and toss in. Add a tsp of cumin, salt, and pepper. 

5. Once vegetables have browned, throw in half of the diced tomato can. Add in cilantro and lemon juice. 

6. Heat up some tortillas and dress your tacos up all fancy! Add salsa, fresh cilantro, maybe some more lemon juice and I personally like feta on mine
