My family and I have always been afraid to try tofu, but having really trusted the ratings of everyone on this recipe I decided to try it. WOW!! It is great!! Instead of marinating for only a couple of hours, I let the tofu marinate over night in the fridge. It was so very flavorful! Loved it!!!!

Very tasty recipe... I'd recommend (as another reviewer mentioned) using less lime juice than called for in the original article. I found the lime flavor to be quite tangy and overwhelming. Otherwise, an excellent dish-- the tofu made great leftovers, too!
