Grilled Tofu and Avocado Sandwich

INGREDIENTS
    • Tofu
    • Oil
    • Chili powder
    • Avocado
    • Onion
    • Roll

METHOD
Take a slice (about 3/4 inch / 19 mm thick) off the top of a block of extra firm tofu so that you have a patty that's about 2.5 x 4 inches / 6.6 x 10.1 cm. Grill this slice lightly in your choice of oil (I use canola). Before you turn the up side down to the pan for the last time, sprinkle on a nice dusting of chili powder. You can skip that part if you want.

While the tofu is grilling, open and scoop out one little shrivelly black avocado, the kind used for guacamole. The other kind may work, too, but I've never tried it. Also slice one of your favorite rolls (I like onion for this sandwich).

When the tofu is light brown, slap it on the roll, bury it in mashed avocado, add sliced tomato and enjoy.


NOTES
I stole this idea from an excellent mostly-vegetarian diner in Narragansett, RI called (believe it or not) Crazy Burger.

It sounds kind of sick, but this is a delicious sandwich, especially for those of us vegans who still like our food to taste good! It makes a great morning sandwich.

It's a great sandwhich. I've been trying a few variations such as after I mashed the avocado I added some green salsa and some chopped cilantro. It's also good if you spread some refried beans on the roll and top it with the tofu,tomato, and avocado. Great no matter what you add to it!

This is quick, easy, and amazingly good. I have this several times a week with many little variations.
