How to Make Super Easy Mexican Tofu

  1. Press the tofu to remove excess water. Cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, chipotle peppers, lime juice, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the tofu cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer is better!).
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the marinated tofu to the skillet and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as rice, tortillas, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
