- 2 teaspoon (10 ml) s olive oil
- 1 medium clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained (or 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) s cooked black beans)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt (optional )
- 1 medium avocado (halved and sliced)
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) cherry tomatoes (sliced)
- Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Your favorite salsa
- Sliced scallions
- Lime wedge for squeezing over the top
- Pinch smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare two or three serving dishes to be filled.
- Prepare the tofu scramble. Begin by draining the tofu and placing it on a large cutting board. Use a potato masher to break it up. Heat a large skillet on medium. Once warmed, pour in 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Introduce the garlic, oregano, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Stir frequently until you notice a fragrant aroma, which should take about a minute. Incorporate the tofu, ensuring it blends well with the spices and garlic. Stir occasionally while cooking until it’s thoroughly warmed, approximately 5 minutes. Portion the scrambled tofu into the bowls.
- Warm the beans. Place the skillet back on the heat source. Add an additional teaspoon of oil. Introduce the beans, chili powder, and cumin. Stir occasionally until the beans are fully heated, roughly 2 minutes. Taste and add salt if you wish. Move them into the bowls.
- Complete the assembly of the bowls. Add slices of cherry tomatoes and avocado. (I suggest adding a touch of kosher salt to each). Finish with the toppings of your choice and serve.
Notes
