Well for really simple, buy the baked tofu at Trader Joe's, and fry it in a pan with some spinach and salt. If you want more complex, add garlic.

I also like the Soy Chorizo they sell at Trader Joe's. I cook it with onion and tomato. Don't put in too much, a little goes a long way. I know you're avoiding dairy--I often add this to an egg and a little cheese--but you could add a little soy cheese to cut the chorizo. Good on a tortilla with guacamole.
