  3. Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric, thyme or basil, chipotle, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the tofu starts to brown slightly, then remove from heat.
  4. In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil and add the leftover onion and garlic. Cook until the onion starts to brown, then add the baked beans. Season with black pepper and cook for 2 minutes before removing from heat.
  5. For the plantains, heat oil in a skillet and add the plantain slices, spacing them apart. Cook until the edges start to brown, then flip and cook the other sides until browned. Remove from heat.
