Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, crumbled
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 large tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Drain the block of firm tofu and press it gently between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Dice the bell pepper and chop the onion into small pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the tofu.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet with the onions. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the bell peppers are tender.
- Next, add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onions and bell peppers.
- Sprinkle the turmeric and cumin over the tofu mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed, giving the tofu a vibrant yellow color and a warm flavor.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the tofu scramble to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden.
- While the tofu is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until they are pliable.
- Once the tofu scramble is ready, remove it from the heat. Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon half of the tofu scramble onto the center of the tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to create a burrito. Repeat with the second tortilla and remaining tofu scramble.
- Serve the vegan tofu scramble breakfast burritos warm, optionally with your favorite salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for added flavor.
Tips
- Press your tofu thoroughly: Remove as much moisture as possible to ensure a crispy, golden texture.
- Use fresh spices: Turmeric and cumin are key to creating a rich, vibrant flavor profile.
- Don't rush the sautéing: Take your time caramelizing onions and bell peppers to develop deeper flavors.
- Warm tortillas just before assembling to prevent cracking.
- Experiment with additional toppings like nutritional yeast, fresh herbs, or vegan cheese for extra excitement.
- For meal prep, you can make the tofu scramble ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for quick morning assembly.
- Choose firm or extra-firm tofu to maintain the best texture in your scramble.
