Ingredients

  • 14 oz firm or extra-firm tofu
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 medium red onion
  • 0.5 medium red bell pepper
  • 15 oz canned black beans
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 0.25 cup cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1Press the tofu to remove as much water as possible. Crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl.
  2. 2Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the crumbled tofu. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  3. 3Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. 4Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  5. 5Add the seasoned crumbled tofu to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown and crisp up slightly. Aim for a scrambled egg-like texture.
  6. 6Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. 7Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. 8Serve the tofu scramble topped with diced avocado and chopped cilantro, if desired.
