Ingredients
- 14 oz. firm tofu 2.29
- 1 tsp turmeric (optional for color) $0.10
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin $0.05
- 1/4 tsp chili powder $0.02
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper $0.02
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil $0.04
- 1 10oz. can diced tomatoes with green chiles $0.85
- 2 green onions, sliced $0.20
Instructions
- 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.
- In a small bowl, combine the turmeric, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the spice mix over the crumbled tofu and then gently stir until the tofu is evenly coated in spices.
- 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.
- Cook the tofu for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, or until heated through. The color of the turmeric will brighten as it cooks.
- Drain the canned tomatoes well, then add them to the skillet. Stir to combine, then cook another five minutes or until heated through.
- Taste the tofu and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over top, then serve.
