Tlt (Tofu, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich) image

A smoky, mustard-chipotle sauce gives this baked tofu enough character to please even the most avid bacon fan. Make it a meal: add some oven fries and a tall glass of minty iced tea. To make ahead, prepare through step 4. Wrap the baked tofu in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Note: canned chipotle peppers (smoked jalapeños) add heat and smokiness to dishes: the adobo sauce alone adds a spicy zest without extra heat. Look for small cans in the Mexican food section in large supermarkets. Once opened they will keep for up to 2 weeks in refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. (I always freeze what I don't use in a recipe.)
