Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Whole wheat bread rolls - 2 units
• Ripe tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Fresh spinach - 50 grams
• Avocado - 1 small, sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Press the firm tofu for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into two equal slices.
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Coat the tofu slices in the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu slices.
5. Cook the tofu for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
6. While the tofu is cooking, slice the whole wheat bread rolls in half.
7. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and lemon juice to create a zesty spread.
8. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the inside of each bread roll.
9. Assemble the bocadillos by placing a slice of the crispy tofu on the bottom half of each roll, followed by slices of tomato, avocado, and a handful of fresh spinach.
10. Top with the other half of the bread roll, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious Bocadillo de Tofu!
