Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper with a splash of vegetable broth until softened.
Add the crumbled tofu to the pot and cook for 5 minutes until slightly golden.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper, coating the tofu and vegetables evenly.
Pour in the tomato puree, remaining vegetable broth, and black beans.
Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to thicken.
Stir in the nutritional yeast just before serving to add a savory, cheesy depth to the chili.
