Southwestern Sweet Potato Tofu Scramble
I had never thought of scrambling tofu, but I definitely will scramble tofu again in the future. This tasted great in a bowl and would also make a filling breakfast burrito.
Ingredients:
1 14 ounce block extra firm tofu
1 sweet potato peeled and cut into cubes
1 bell pepper diced
1 15.5 ounce can reduced sodium black beans drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn thawed
¼ cup sweet onion diced
½ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Toppings: salsa, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce, etc..
Directions:
- Drain the tofu and pat dry with a paper towel. Crumble the tofu into pieces on a plate or strainer.
- Add sweet potato and 1 cup water to a large nonstick pan. Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to simmer stirring occasionally for 8-10 minutes. Cook until potatoes are tender.
- Drain water. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add tofu, olive oil, and sprinkle with turmeric. Continue to stir.
- Add black beans, corn, and chili powder. Add ¼ water if mixture becomes too dry.
- Serve immediately. Add toppings of your choice.
