- Add the mushrooms and red bell pepper and cook for 3 - 4 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and soy sauce and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Then add the beans and tofu and stir for 2 - 3 minutes. Season with pepper and garnish with grated cheddar.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with arugula or other fresh greens or salsa and low carb-tortillas.
