Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the tofu. Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top of the tofu to press out excess moisture for about 15-20 minutes.

  2. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes or strips.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

  4. Add the sliced bell pepper to the skillet and cook until it begins to soften.

  5. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat the veggies in the spices.

  6. Add the cubed tofu to the skillet and cook for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

  7. Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the skillet. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

  8. Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.

  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  10. Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and accompanied by lime wedges.
