Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather and Prep Ingredients

  • Before you begin cooking, it’s important to have everything prepped and ready. This not only saves time but also makes the cooking process smoother. Here’s what to do:
  • Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients listed above.
  • Pre-chop Your Vegetables: Dice bell peppers and halve cherry tomatoes. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for easy access.
  • Prep Your Protein: If you’re using tofu, crumble it into bite-sized pieces. For eggs, beat them in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Select Your Toppings: Choose your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or cheese. Preparing these ahead of time can make your assembly quicker.

Step 2: Cook the Protein

  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray. Here’s how to cook your chosen protein:
  • For Eggs: Pour in the beaten eggs, stirring gently with a spatula until they’re fully cooked but still soft, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • For Tofu: Add crumbled tofu to the skillet, season with turmeric for color and nutritional yeast for flavor, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 3: Assemble the Bowl

  • This is where the fun begins! Layer your ingredients in a bowl as follows:
  • Base: Start with a generous scoop of black beans. They form a hearty base that provides fiber and protein.
  • Protein: Next, add your scrambled eggs or tofu.
  • Vegetables: Layer on your diced bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a handful of spinach.
  • Creamy Element: Add slices of avocado or a sprinkle of shredded cheese (or vegan cheese).
  • Flavor Boost: Finish with your favorite toppings salsa, hot sauce, or a squeeze of lime juice.
