How to Make My Favorite Tex Mex Tofu Scramble
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sautee 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent and beginning to soften, stirring frequently (about 5 minutes).
- Add 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (remove seeds for less heat), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Crumble 1 block (14 ounces) of extra-firm tofu into the pan and stir to combine.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the tofu and vegetable mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes, without stirring, allowing the tofu to crisp slightly.
- Add salt and chili powder to taste (start with ½ teaspoon each and adjust as needed). Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately in warmed tortillas, over rice, or with your favorite toppings like salsa and fresh cilantro.
