Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced
  • 14 ounces extra-firm tofu patted dry and crumbled
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Serving Suggestions

  • Tomatoes, salsa or pico de gallo
  • Avocado and/or tomatillo salsa verde
  • Sauteéd spinach or kale
  • Cilantro
  • Whole-wheat, sprouted grain, or corn tortillas

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, mustard, turmeric, cumin, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and pinches of salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tofu and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the tofu is thoroughly heated. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the almond milk mixture. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with more salt (I like to add an additional ¼ to ½ teaspoon at this stage) and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve with veggies, salsa, and tortillas, if desired.
