Heat skillet over medium heat and sauté diced onions until translucent.

Add in all of the seasonings and sauce for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly.

Crumble in the extra firm tofu and sauté for a few minutes until tofu is slightly browned.

In a small bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients and mix well, then add to the tofu and stir to combine.

Sauté over medium heat, about 10-15 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan every few minutes.

Simmer on low for an additional few minutes until desired consistency is reached (using additional soymilk if needed).

Serve over sourdough toast, in a burrito, a breakfast sandwich, a taco or as is!
