This is a perfect breakfast or dinner! It comes together very quickly (we’re talking under 30 minutes), tastes amazing, and is whole food/plant-based. We love doing this as breakfast for dinner with a smoothie on the side.

Ingredients: Serves 4

• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1 yellow bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 blocks extra firm tofu
• 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1-2 Tablespoons hot sauce (I used Cholula)
• 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup green onions, sliced thin
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 2 avocados, diced
• your favorite salsa

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. After about 1 minute, add the onion and bell pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is browning.
2. Meanwhile, drain the tofu and pat it dry with a cloth or paper towels. Try to get it as dry as possible. Save for later.
3. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring.
4. Crumble the tofu with your hands and add both blocks to the skillet. Add the rinsed black beans as well.
5. Add your spices and hot sauce and stir. Taste and add more hot sauce/sea salt if needed.
6. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
7. Remove the scramble from heat, and add servings to plates. Garnish with cilantro, green onion, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
8. Serve with your favorite salsa. Enjoy!
