Ingredients

  • 14 oz Extra-firm tofu
  • 3 tbsp Nutritional yeast
  • 0.5 tsp Turmeric
  • 0.25 tsp Black salt (Kala Namak)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 0.5 small Red onion
  • 1 can (15 oz) Canned black beans

  6. 6Gently fold in the salsa and cook for 1-2 minutes more, just to warm it.
