Tofu Scramble Ingredients

- 1 cup black beans, cooked
- 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the tofu and vegetables.
- Cook the tofu: Crumble the firm tofu directly into the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to lightly brown and develop texture.
- Add beans and corn: Stir in the cooked black beans and corn along with turmeric, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to evenly combine the flavors.
- Simmer: Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the spices have infused the scramble.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for a bright, herbal finish, and serve immediately.
