Instructions

1

Crumble the pressed extra-firm tofu into a bowl. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, black salt, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the tofu evenly, resembling scrambled eggs.

2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 325°F / 160°C). Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Add the seasoned tofu mixture to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu to heat through and slightly brown.

5

Stir in the rinsed black beans and drained corn. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the beans and corn to heat through.

6

If the mixture seems dry, add the unsweetened soy milk a tablespoon at a time and stir until it reaches your desired consistency. This dish is inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, often enjoyed for breakfast but equally satisfying for dinner.

7

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
