Ingredients	½ t oil ¼ c flour 1/3 c cornmeal 1 T Cajun seasoning 1 t onion powder ½ t cayenne ½ t salt ½ t pepper 2/3 c non-dairy milk 2 T lime juice ½ pound tofu, pressed and cut into 6-8 strips or triangles
Directions	Preheat oven to 375. Oil the baking dish and set aside. Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, and seasonings in one bowl, and the milk and juice in the other. Dip a piece of tofu in the liquid, then in the dry mixture, and set on the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tofu.

Notes	* My tofu seemed very dry when I flipped it, so I sprayed both sides with a bit of olive oil.
