Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz firm tofu pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 cups black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 jalapeno minced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 3 cups lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup leftover roasted sweet potato cubes
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt divided
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta or cotija optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu, sprinkle with cumin and half the salt, and cook, turning occasionally, until crispy on most sides, about 7 minutes.
  • Whisk together the lime juice, garlic powder, and remaining salt in a small bowl to make the dressing.
  • Layer the lettuce in two bowls. Top with black beans, bell pepper, jalapeno, green onion, and sweet potato cubes.
  • Add the crispy tofu on top, drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently. Sprinkle with feta or cotija if using. Serve immediately, either warm or cold.

Notes

If adding feta/cotija: +50 kcal, +2g protein, +4g fat, +2.5g saturated fat, +12mg cholesterol, +160mg sodium per serving. Sodium runs high mainly from canned beans and added salt — swap in low-sodium beans and cut the added salt by half to bring it down meaningfully.
