2 orange bell peppers, halved and seeded

  • Saute 5 minutes.
  • Mix in 1/4 cup marinara sauce, rice, salt and pepper, continue to cook 5 more minutes.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but this recipe changed my mind. The tofu was perfectly cooked and the filling was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a delicious and healthy meal. I especially liked the addition of the black beans and corn, which gave the dish a nice Southwestern flavor.

This dish was a hit with my family! The combination of flavors was amazing, and the tofu was a great source of protein. I will definitely be making this again.
