This is one of those recipes that will change every time you make it. You might add a little more of the veggies, swap some out, increase the chilli – it’s the perfect quick and satisfying meal for weeknights or easy weekend dinners.
The best part? You can go as crazy as you like with the piles of guacamole, and of course the dairy-free cheddar shreds and delicious sour cream – YUM!

Step 4 Add your red capsicum, green capsicum, and red onion to the tofu mix and cook until the onion is soft, around 5 mins, add nutritional yeast, salt & pepper and stir through, then set aside in a bowl
Step 5 In another pan add your black beans and corn, heat over a high heat until charred, then set aside
Step 6 To make your spicy pineapple rice, heat some more olive oil in a pan over high heat and add your cooked rice, sprinkle with taco seasoning and add your chopped pineapple, cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice starts to brown, then set aside
