Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu
- 1 cup black beans, cooked

Seasonings and Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil until it shimmers, providing the perfect base for sautéing the tofu.
- Cook the tofu: Crumble the firm tofu directly into the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly and develop texture.
- Add beans and corn with spices: Stir in the cooked black beans, frozen or fresh corn, turmeric, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the ingredients with the spices.
- Simmer and meld flavors: Cook the tofu mixture for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately for a vibrant and wholesome dish.
Notes
- You can substitute black beans with pinto beans or chickpeas for a different flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning levels to your preference; add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Serve with warm tortillas or toast for a complete breakfast.
- For extra creaminess, drizzle with a little avocado or vegan cheese.
