Make itInstructions

1. Warm up a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a little oil and then add the onion. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until tender, then add the garlic and spices and stir to coat the onion. Cook for 1 minute stirring often.

2. Add the black beans, lime juice and a splash of water (1-2 tablespoon). Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes or until desired consistency (saucy but not watery).

3. Once done, transfer on a plate and set aside.

4. Wipe the pan with a paper towel and warm up a little more oil over medium-high-heat. Then, crumble the block of tofu into the pan using your fingers. Keep the chunks on the larger side, you can always break them up later using a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, turmeric powder and chili powder with a good pinch of salt and stir well to coat the tofu with the spices.

5. Stir often and keep cooking until the tofu starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the cherry tomatoes, and stir. Keep cooking for 2-3 more minutes or until the tomatoes start to soften.

6. Then, push the tofu scramble on the side on the pan and transfer the spinach on the other side. Add a little splash of water and some salt over the spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes). Remove from the heat.

7. Place some tofu scramble, black bean mixture and wilted tofu in a bowl and garnish with more cherry tomatoes, avocado, salsa and red onion. Serve with a side of toasted bread and add some hot sauce too, if you want. Enjoy!
