Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Tofu Scramble: Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Crumble the drained tofu into bite-sized pieces directly into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently with a thin metal spatula, until the tofu releases its liquid and begins to brown, approximately 10 minutes. Increase heat if needed to evaporate excess liquid.

02

Step

Spice It Up: Add the onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, lemon juice, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the tofu. Toss to coat evenly. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the tofu.

03

Step

Craft the Black Bean Fiesta: Preheat a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Sauté the diced red onion and jalapenos with a pinch of salt until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Introduce the chopped tomatoes, cumin, and remaining salt. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes break down into a saucy consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and lemon juice, allowing the cilantro to wilt. Finally, add the drained and rinsed black beans and heat through, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

04

Step

Assemble Your Masterpiece: Divide the cooked hash brown potatoes among bowls. Top with a generous scoop of the black bean mixture and a portion of the flavorful tofu scramble. Garnish with slices of fresh avocado, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.

For an even more intense flavor, consider using smoked paprika in the tofu scramble.
Feel free to substitute your favorite beans, such as pinto or kidney beans, in place of the black beans.
If you don't have fresh jalapenos, a pinch of red pepper flakes will provide a similar level of heat.
Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding salsa, sour cream (or vegan sour cream), shredded cheese (or vegan cheese), or pickled onions.

    I found that pressing the tofu for a longer time helps it brown better. Thanks for the recipe!
