Ingredients

For 3 people

Cooking for

14oz. firm tofu (2.29)
1 tspturmeric (optional for color)
0.5 tspground cumin
0.25 tspchili powder
0.25 tspgarlic powder
0.5 tspsalt
0.25 tspfreshly cracked pepper
1 tbspcooking oil
110oz. can diced tomatoes with green chiles
2green onions, sliced

Steps

1
Remove the tofu from the package and drain the excess liquid (no need to press the tofu). Place the tofu in a bowl and use your hands to break it into crumbles.
2
In a small bowl, combine the turmeric, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3
Sprinkle the spice mix over the crumbled tofu and then gently stir until the tofu is evenly coated in spices.
4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil to the skillet, swirl to coat the surface, then add the tofu.
5
Cook the tofu for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, or until heated through. The color of the turmeric will brighten as it cooks.
6
Drain the canned tomatoes well, then add them to the skillet. Stir to combine, then cook another five minutes or until heated through.
7
Taste the tofu and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over top, then serve.
