lots of garlic cloves chopped
4 serrano chili peppers, seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves)
1 green, red, or yellow pepper chopped.
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tofu cutlets (something i found at walmart–firmer than regular tofu)

next step:
2, 13 oz cans of chopped tomatoes with green chilis
1-ish  cup hot vegetable stock (i bought a veg soup mix and added water)
1 can black beans
1 can chili beans in sauce
salt and pepper

*serve with sour cream, grated cheese and fresh cilantro.

put all the chopped stuff and spices and chopped tofu cutlets and heat in
oil in large skillet until tender and fragrant.

constantly) to reduce and thicken.
