Before you start

Pull out a medium frying pan, a medium saucepan, a small bowl & a sieve

Start the prep

Finely dice the onion. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Reserve 1 orange wedge, then peel and dice the remaining into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the beans
In the small bowl, combine half the onion with the tomatoes, orange, half the coriander, the juice of half the lime, half the vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside

Fry the tofu

Drain the tofu, pat dry with paper towel and tear into 2cm chunks
Heat the medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden
In the final 1 min, add half the Mexican spice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and toss the tofu with half the maple syrup to coat

Build the beans

Meanwhile, heat the medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat, Once hot, add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, then stir in the garlic, the half pack of chipotle paste (use less for less heat) and the remaining Mexican spice. Cook for 2 mins
Add the remaining vinegar and cook for 30 secs, then add the passata, beans, 80ml water (40ml for 1 person), the remaining maple and the juice from the reserved orange wedge. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 mins, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

Share the black beans between bowls, topped with the spiced tofu and orange tomato salsa. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander and serve with the remaining lime, cut into wedges, to finish
