  • 2 tablespoons Dairy-free milk (almond, soy, or oat)

Prepare the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess water. You can do this by wrapping the tofu in paper towels and placing a heavy object on top for about 15-20 minutes. Once pressed, crumble the tofu with your hands into a bowl.

Sauté the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened.

Add Tofu and Seasonings

Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir in the nutritional yeast, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and black salt. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned. Add the dairy-free milk for extra creaminess.

Add Black Beans and Corn

Add the black beans and corn to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the tofu scramble immediately. Top with salsa and avocado if desired. Enjoy with tortillas, toast, or on its own.
