In a food processor, pulse together the tofu, black beans, carrots and onions until they are all finely chopped and start to form a ball.
Add the breadcrumbs, mustard, ketchup, oregano, basil, egg, garlic, red chili flakes, and paprika and mix gently until it is blended, it stick together easily and not be too wet or dry.
Heat about 3 in/8cm of oil in a deep skillet and while it heats to temperature, roll your meatballs using a small scoop or two teaspoons to make sure they are all about the same size.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs a few at a time and cook for about 6-7 minutes, rolling a few times to make sure all the sides brown evenly.
