Instructions

- After you have drained and pressed the tofu, break the block of tofu up into chunks. Set aside.
- Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, jalapeno, onion, broth, vinegar, lime juice, chipotle sauce, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Add the chunks of tofu to the bowl and toss to combine. Let the tofu sit in the marinade for about 15 minutes.
- Pour the tofu, marinade and all on to a large sheet pan lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Spread out evenly.
- Bake for 15 minutes, toss the tofu and bake for another 15 minutes or until the tofu is firm and brown.

- Once the tofu is done, serve a bowl of rice with tofu on top, drizzled with the cilantro vinaigrette and veggies of desired.
