Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 package tofu (16 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion,, diced
- 2 cloves garlic,, minced
- 1 can rotel (10 oz),, drained, or ½ cup salsa*
- 1 bell pepper,, diced
- ½ teaspoon kala namak,, Indian pink salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- cilantro to garnish
- favorite hot sauce to garnish
Instructions
- Press the tofu by using a tofu press or by wrapping it in an absorbent towel and placing something heavy on it to remove excess water (or use a tofu press). After the tofu is pressed, cube the tofu.
- In a medium skillet, heat oil and add onions and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers and cook for about 1 minute. I like to keep my bell peppers with a slight crunch, if you prefer yours softer, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the can of rotel and cook for about 5 minutes allowing any liquid to evaporate.
- Add the tofu, kala namak, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Cook for about 5-7 minutes allowing the flavors to soak into the tofu and to evaporate any excess water that didn't press.
- Serve warm. Garnish with cilantro and Chalula or your favorite hot sauce. Serve with toast or include in breakfast burritos!
Notes
- If you do not have Rotel, you can use diced tomatoes and a diced green chili canned or fresh!
