Notes/Tips:

• The longer you marinate the tastier the tofu is. If you marinate overnight, leave it in the refrigerator.

• Be sure to use firm tofu as it can break otherwise. Use a tofu press if you have one.
  If you don’t a tofu press- drain the tofu water that comes in the container. Wrap the tofu block in a paper towel. If it’s a thin paper towel, double wrap it. Place something that is a little heavy on it that presses it down slightly. Let it sit for 20-30 mins.

• You can use any cheese in this recipe.

• If you don’t have Cajun seasoning make your own at home by mixing 3 parts of paprika 2 parts of onion powder and garlic powder and 1 part of salt, black pepper powder, oregano, chili flakes.

• If you don’t have grape tomatoes you can use Roma tomatoes cut in thin slices.

• If you would like to add pickles onions you can pickle any way you like. I pickles white onions in a mixture of water with lemon juice, maple syrup and vinegar.

• Use vegan ranch, Mayo and cheese to make this recipe vegan.
