Lunch: Tofu-and-Vegetable Tacos with Eggplant-Ancho Spread

Ingredients

One 14-ounce block extra-firm tofu, cut crosswise into 6 slabs
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 small red onion, cut into wedges
1 red bell pepper—cored, seeded and cut into strips
3 small tomatoes, halved
6 flour tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Smoky Eggplant-Ancho Spread

Instructions

Arrange the tofu on a baking sheet and top with another baking sheet and several plates. Let stand for 1 hour to press out some of the excess water. Pat the tofu dry.
In a bowl, combine the wine, olive oil, mint and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Add the squash, zucchini, onion, pepper, tomatoes and tofu; let stand for 5 minutes.
Light a grill and oil the grates. Grill the vegetables in a grill basket over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until tender, 10 minutes. Grill the tofu directly on the grates, turning, until charred all over, 8 minutes.
Spread each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the Eggplant-Ancho spread. Add the tofu and vegetables, fold up the tacos and serve.
