  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1Press the extra-firm tofu to remove as much water as possible. Crumble the tofu into a bowl.

  4. 4Add the seasoned tofu to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly and develop a firmer texture.
  5. 5Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. 6Gently fold in the salsa and cook for 1-2 minutes more, just to warm it.
