  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder

  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast

  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1/2 , sliced (for serving) Avocado
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Cilantro

Prepare the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess water. This will help it crumble and absorb flavors. Press for at least 20 minutes using a tofu press or wrapping in paper towels and weighing down.

Sauté Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add Beans and Corn

Add the rinsed black beans and corn to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Crumble Tofu and Add Spices

Crumble the pressed tofu into the skillet. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salsa, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Scramble

Cook the tofu scramble for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Serve and Garnish

Serve the Spicy Black Bean Tofu Scramble hot. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Enjoy with tortillas, toast, or on its own.
