Method

Put lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well. Place tofu in a shallow pan, add lime juice mixture, and marinate in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally, for several hours. Meanwhile, remove husks from corn and soak it in cold water for 1 hour. Drain corn and wrap it in aluminum foil. Grill for 20 to 30 minutes, turning often, until corn is lightly charred. Cut corn kernels off cob. Parboil onion and cut into quarters. Thread onion, bell peppers, and tomatoes onto skewers and brush with lime marinade. Grill, turning often, until lightly charred. Place tofu on grill, cover with a lid or aluminum foil and cook, basting occasionally with marinade until tofu is light brown. Heat each tortilla briefly on grill. Divide vegetables and tofu equally among tortillas, and then roll up fajita style. Serve with guacamole.
