Cut tofu in half-horizontally, making two large slices about 1 inch thick.
Cover a cutting board with aluminum foil and place it so that one end extends over the sink.
Prop up the other end so the board slants slightly toward the sink.
Place tofu slices on the board, side by side.
Cover tofu with a second sheet of foil.
Place another cutting board or a baking sheet over the foil and weight it with heavy cans or books.
Let stand for 15 minutes; remove weights and cut tofu into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
In a medium bowl, blend lime juice, soy sauce and ginger.
Add tofu and toss to coat.
Cover with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Tuck a mint leaf into each tomato quarter and thread onto 4 or 8 doubled skewers alternately with tofu, Onion and jalapenos.
Discard marinade.
Using a long-handled barbecue brush, coat the grill rack lightly with oil.
Grill kebabs, turning occasionally, for 7 minutes.
