Steps to make Southwestern Tofu, Black Beans, and Rice:
- Drain and press one brick of tofu. I like to wrap it in layers of paper towels and set a cast iron skillet on top of it for at least half an hour. Cut into small cubes and set aside.
- Add 1 cup of white rice and 1 cup of water to rice cooker or medium sized pot.
- Add 2 teaspoons of lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne to the pot.
- Stir all ingredients together and turn on rice cooker or bring covered pot to boil on the stove. If using stove top, once a rapid boil is achieved, turn heat to low. Remove from heat once water has evaporated, like you do when cooking rice.
- Open can of black beans and pour contents into microwave safe bowl. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic and 1 teaspoon oregano. Stir until combined. Heat covered in microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.
- In cast iron skillet or large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium high heat.
- Add tofu cubes and cook until lightly golden brown on all sides.
- Mix together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon sriracha, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl or measuring glass.
- Pour mixture into skillet/frying pan with tofu and stir/cook until tofu mixture has evaporated.
- Serve tofu, rice, and black beans separately or mixed together. For the full flavor, take a bite of all of them at once, the flavors will combine and complement each other.
