Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450F. Arrange thick slices of bread in a large baking dish, and set them aside.
2. Place beans in a large saucepan, and heat them over medium heat, warming them through completely. When they are hot,
remove them from heat, and set them aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and sauté onion
until golden, for about 5 minutes. Remove onion from heat, and set aside.
4. Meanwhile, combine cumin, chili powder, onion powder and cornstarch in a large bowl, mixing to combine well. Place cubed tofu in a bowl, and dust each side with mixture. Add remaining oil to skillet, and heat over medium heat. Sauté tofu cubes on all sides until crispy, for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove them from heat, and place them in a bowl with onion.
5. Spoon beans over bread slices in equal portions, and sprinkle “bacon” bits onto beans. Top with tofu and onions, and sprinkle each portion with grated cheese.
6. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until cheese melts. Remove them from oven, and garnish them with cilantro leaves
before serving.
