    Crispy Cuban Tofu Rice and Beans.  I wanted the description to accurately describe this delectable dish.  Crispy tofu is the best, toss in Cuban spices, and top it all off with black beans and rice. Yes, it is as good as it looks and sounds.   This meal takes only 30 minutes, and will definitely satisfy your hungry crowd.  If your crowd isn't that big,  is perfect for left-overs as well.  Vegan, gluten free, dairy free.
