Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos

Name: Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos
Prep time: 12 min
Total time: 12 min
Ingredients: 1 block (14 oz) Extra-firm tofu; 1 ½ tsp olive oil; 3 tbsp nutritional yeast; 1 ½ tsp turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika; ½ tsp salt, black salt (kala namak) if you have it; ¼ cup unsweetened soy milk; 2 cups baby spinach; 4 small whole wheat tortillas; ¼ cup salsa; ½ avocado, sliced

The scramble that converted our most stubborn egg people. Turmeric makes it golden, nutritional yeast gives it that savory richness, and a pinch of black salt, if you have it, makes it taste eggy enough to be a little spooky. Wrap it up with salsa and avocado.

Scramble

Choose milk

Tacos

Soy milk is the only one close to dairy on protein, about 7 g a cup.

Your pick applies to every recipe.

Method

1
Slice the avocado.
2
Warm the oil in a nonstick pan over medium. Add the tofu and break it up into big and small curds.
3
Sprinkle over the nutritional yeast, spices and salt. Stir and cook until the edges start to turn golden.
4
Pour in the soy milk and add the spinach. Stir until it's creamy and the spinach has wilted.
5
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or over a flame.
6
Fill the tortillas with the scramble, salsa and avocado.

Storage

The scramble keeps 4 days and reheats in 60 seconds, so double it for the week.

Good to know

Swapping to TVP? Rehydrate it in hot broth with the turmeric first. It makes a great breakfast hash.
