1. Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu, chili powder, cumin and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the tofu begins to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

2. Add the remaining 1½ teaspoons oil to the pan. Add zucchini, corn, scallions and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are just tender, about 3 minutes. Return the tofu to the pan and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
