Healthy Tofu Stir Fry

Who doesn’t love a good Mexican bowl? This is a healthy tofu stir fry that I love to whip up!  Tofu can be gross if you just try to eat it without seasoning or cooking it- you just have to know how to make it. Tofu tends to take on the flavor of whatever you put on it, so I recommend marinating or adding spices prior to cooking. My favorites are in reduced-sodium soy sauce with garlic, and this spicy tofu that uses cumin, chili, and garlic powder.

You can use any protein here- chicken would be good as well!

I’ve also used this recipe on shrimp and tilapia for a change up. Let me know if you try it!

Ingredients (4 servings)

1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt (I love Trader Joe’s)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 package of pressed tofu, cubed (press the water out, or your choice of protein)
2 cups of chopped mixed bell peppers (I used red, green, and yellow)
2 cups of broccoli florets
2 cups of cooked brown rice
8 Tbsp Pico De Galo
1 Cup of Homemade or store bought Guacamole

Directions
1.  Combine chili powder, salt, cumin, and garlic powder, in a large resealable container or plastic bag
2.  Add tofu, bell pepper, and broccoli.
3.  Shake bag or container until coated and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4.  Spray large non-stick pan with spray and empty the contents of bag/container onto it over medium-high heat.
5. Cook for 6-8 minutes stirring frequently.
6. Add 1/4 of the tofu, 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/2 cup peppers, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup guacamole, and 2 Tbsp Pico De Galo in a bowl and mix.

Enjoy your healthy tofu stir fry!
