Tofu-ey

Alright I know I mentioned recently that I'm on this vegetarian kick, so naturally I've been checking out the vegan/vegetarian offerings at my local grocery store.  I tried that ground veggie stuff...YUMMY!  When I went back for more though, sadly they were out.  My options were vegan cheese, vegan bologna, and several different types of tofu.  I decided to give the tofu a go.  Welp...turns out it was a no.  I marinated it for nearly 24 hours in a mixture of Mexican spices, and added it in with my traditional taco mixture (rice, beans, onion, green pepper).  In place of meat obviously I used the tofu.  Now I'm not sure if it was because last night my best friend told me tofu makes her gag or the  texture of the stuff (also I may have added a bit too much salt), but the tacos tasted gross lol.  Do any of you like tofu?  If so how to you prepare it?  Share your culinary endeavors with this disgusting little gelatinous crap, and teach me how to make it taste good!!!
