Ingredients:

For the Tofu Scramble:

  • 4 pieces of Tung Lam Tofu Keras, drained and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for added flavor)

For the Burrito:

  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup black beans, canned or cooked
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • Hot sauce or vegan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tofu Scramble:

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add chopped onions and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
    • Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
    • Add crumbled tofu to the skillet and season with turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
    • Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tofu is heated through and has a slightly golden color.
    • If using nutritional yeast, sprinkle it over the tofu and mix it in. This will add a cheesy flavor.
  2. Assemble the Burrito:

    • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
    • Lay out each tortilla and add a scoop of the cooked quinoa or brown rice down the center.
    • Top with a portion of the tofu scramble, black beans, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and salsa.
    • If you like it spicy, you can add hot sauce or vegan cheese at this point.
    • Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves on top for added freshness.
  3. Fold and Roll:

    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold up the bottom and roll it tightly to form a burrito.
  4. Serve:

    • You can serve the Tofu Breakfast Burritos immediately, or you can wrap them in foil and keep them warm in the oven until you're ready to eat.
