Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Drain tofu and crumble it into the skillet.
  3. Drizzle with tahini, lemon juice, turmeric, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
  4. Add the remaining seasonings: smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Mix well!
  5. Sauté the tofu for about 5 minutes, until slightly brown and the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Add the tomatoes and spinach. Cover and steam the spinach for 3-5 minutes until it wilts.
  7. Remove the lid and flip the tofu in batches for an even cook. Leave for another 3-5 minutes. (Skip this step if you prefer a softer scramble.)
