Lightly press the tofu to squeeze out some of the water. Cut into 4 layers and cut the layers into triangles. Bake in the oven at 350° Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, then flip and bake another 10 minutes.
While the tofu bakes, wash and chop the lettuce. Slice the cucumber into diagonal coins. Thinly slice the red cabbage and the green onions. If using canned corn, drain it. Slice a lime into wedges.
