Before You Start

Press and cube the tofu, drain and rinse the black beans, dice the summer squash, rinse the spinach, and mince the garlic.

How To Make It
  1. Season the tofu, warm the olive oil in a pan over medium high, and sear, turning, 5 to 6 minutes, until golden and crisp on the edges, then set it aside.
  2. Add the summer squash and cook, 4 to 5 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
  3. Add the black beans and cumin and cook, 3 to 4 minutes, until the beans are hot and steaming.
  4. Add the spinach and garlic and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the garlic is fragrant, then return the tofu and toss.
  5. Finish with the lime and cilantro off the heat, spoon over the cooked rice, and serve.
Fix It: If it tastes flat, add a squeeze more lime and a pinch of salt to lift the beans and tofu.
Air Fryer
  1. Heat the air fryer to 380F.
  2. Add the ingredients you would cook on the stove or in the oven in a single layer, without crowding the basket.
  3. Cook for about 14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until cooked through and lightly crisp.
  4. Let it rest a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
