This is a very quick and easy recipe that makes 6-8 servings. The flavor combination, while a bit unique, is very satisfying. I think this recipe turned out great, and I am glad I made it in bulk. I plan on thoroughly enjoying this stew-ish meal for the next several days. I didn’t really know how to classify it. It is sort of like a chili, but not. It’s too thick to be a soup. So “stew” is the best I have. Vegan, but with the wonderful Diaya cheddar vegan “cheese” that adds a great creamy cheesy flavor.

Easy Chipotle Tofu Stew

(makes 6-8 servings)

1 15oz can Black Beans, drained well
2 10oz cans Lime & Cilantro ROTEL, add liquid
1 4ox can Green chilies
1 Block Firm Tofu, crumbled to look like cottage cheese
454g Roasted Chipotle Salsa (Wegmans brand..but I’m sure others exist)
500g Grape Tomatoes, cut in half longways
5g each Chili Powder, Cumin Powder, Nutritional Yeast
3g Turmeric powder
112g Diaya Cheddar Cheese

In a med-large pot, combine all ingredients except the “cheese”. Allow the stew to come to a low boil. Once the stew is up to temperature, add the “cheese” and stir in well. Done. Yes, it’s that simple.

I really really enjoyed this!
