Ingredients
- 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
- 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Black salt (Kala Namak), optional
- 0.5 tsp Salt

- 2 tbsp Olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1Press the extra-firm tofu to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping it in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for at least 15-30 minutes.
- 2Once pressed, crumble the tofu into a bowl using your hands or a fork. Aim for a texture similar to scrambled eggs.
- 3Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt (if using), salt, and black pepper to the crumbled tofu.
- 4Gently toss to combine, ensuring the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.
- 5Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- 6Add the seasoned tofu to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown and get slightly crispy in places.
- 7Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet and stir to combine with the tofu scramble. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through.
- 8Remove from heat.
- 9Serve the tofu scramble topped with salsa and garnished with fresh cilantro.
