3am tofu asada tacos; plated and ready to go.

"Tofu asada? Is that a thing?". Yes, friend. Tofu asada is a thing now. In my experience,"asada" seems to typically be grilled meat (generally beef) in an asada-style marinade which always seems to have lime, olive oil and a mish-mash of your typical Mexican ingredients (e.g. cumin, cilantro, chillies). I see no reason why this process cannot apply this same process to a block of extra firm tofu. Drained, pressed and marinated for an hour or so.

Carne or tofu Wok or grill. Hot metal cooky-thingy. Basically the same thing.

"UGH. That is NOT carne and that is NOT asad-dization. It is asadatage". Correct, Captain Stellar Observation Skills. It is NOT carne and it is a wok, not a grill.Still, I challenge you to pop into your nearest handful of authentic Mexican taquerias and tell me how many of them prepare carne asada on an open flame and not a simple flat-top griddle. I'm going to guess not many.
