Vegan Scrambled Tofu Breakfast Tacos Recipe

How to make Vegan Scrambled Tofu Breakfast Tacos

Method

  1. Slice the block of tofu in half (lengthwise, down the centre), then into 4 even pieces. Press out any excess moisture with paper towels.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large frypan over medium heat.
  3. Place the tofu pieces in the pan and sear on each side for 4-5 minutes, flipping until lightly golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat.
  4. Use a spatula or whisk to break up the tofu into bite-sized pieces and add back to pan. Sprinkle with the turmeric. Toss and cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and toss to combine. 
  5. While the tofu is cooking, cut up your tomatoes, avocado, onions and jalapeño (if using) and set aside.
  6. Cook the tofu until it is browned to your liking.
  7. To serve, briefly heat each tortilla in a pan or in the microwave, so they’re warm and soft.
  8. Divide the tofu scramble into 4 equal servings. Lay each tortilla flat on a plate and spoon on a base of the scrambled tofu.
  9. Top each tortilla with tomatoes, avocado, spring onions, finely diced red onion and jalapeño slices (if using).
  10. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, coriander leaves (if using), a squeeze of lime juice and a few dashes of hot sauce (if using), to finish.

Tip: Cover warmed tortillas with aluminium foil until ready to serve.
Optional: Add shredded vegan cheese.
