INGREDIENTS
1 cup Black Beans (cooked)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
4 ounces Extra Firm Tofu (cubed)
1/4 portion Avocado
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the black beans if using canned, and set aside.
Prepare quinoa according to package instructions; once cooked, fluff with a fork.
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.
Season tofu cubes with a pinch of salt, black pepper, half teaspoon cumin and chili powder.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté tofu until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, sautéed tofu, sliced red bell pepper, and nutritional yeast.
Add lime juice and gently toss everything together ensuring even distribution of the spicy seasoning.
Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed before serving.
Garnish with sliced avocado on top just prior to serving for added creaminess and a burst of lime flavor.
