Instructions
Make the Spiced Pinto Beans
  1. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with oil and place over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add beans and cumin. Flip a few times with a spatula to incorporate and cook just until beans are heated throughout, about 1 minute.
  2. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm while you prepare the tofu.
Make the Scrambled Tofu
  1. Coat the bottom of your skillet (you can use the same one that you cooked the beans in) with oil and place over medium heat. When oil is hot, crumble tofu into skillet, breaking it up as finely as you like. Sprinkle with turmeric, paprika and cumin. Cook until tofu begins to dry up a bit, about 5 minutes, flipping gently, to incorporate ingredients. Add red wine vinegar, kala namak or table salt, and pepper. Flip a few more times and remove from heat.
Serve
  1. Divide rice, beans and tofu into bowls. Top with toppings and serve.
