• red onion
• cilantro
• red chili pepper
• 1 block smoked tofu
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon chipotle paste
• 4 dollops yogurt

Instructions

1. Combine Black Beans and Corn: In a large metal bowl, add black beans and corn.
2. Add Chopped Vegetables and Lettuce: Add chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and red chili pepper to the bowl. Then, add shredded lettuce.
3. Add Crushed Tortilla Chips: Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the salad.
4. Prepare the Tofu "Meat": Crumble a block of smoked tofu into mince-like pieces onto a cutting board. Heat a pan with oil. Add the crumbled tofu to the hot pan and cook for upwards of 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it resembles mince. Grate 1 clove of garlic into the pan. Add 1 teaspoon of chipotle paste to the pan. Stir and cook until the tofu is well-seasoned and browned.
5. Prepare the Black Beans: While the tofu is cooking, drain and rinse a can of black beans. Place them in a small bowl and squeeze two halves of a lime over them. Mash the beans slightly with a spoon.
6. Prepare the Dressing: In a separate metal bowl, add approximately 4 dollops of yogurt. Grate over 1 clove of garlic. Add chopped fresh cilantro. Add chipotle paste and lime juice. Stir in nutritional yeast. Whisk everything together until well combined.
7. Assemble the Salad: Add the cooked tofu mixture to the large bowl with the other salad ingredients. Pour the prepared dressing over the entire salad. Add more crushed tortilla chips on top. Gently toss all the ingredients together using salad servers until everything is evenly coated.
8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped red onion and tortilla chips if desired.
