Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu
- 8 oz soyrizo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon (to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) cilantro
- 1 sliced for garnish (optional) avocado
- 4 for serving lime wedges
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess water. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a weight (such as a heavy pan) on top for 10 minutes.
While the tofu is pressing, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Remove the tofu from the towel and crumble it with your hands into small, bite-sized pieces, resembling scrambled eggs.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet with the onion and bell pepper. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the soyrizo, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season the mixture with turmeric powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the tofu and vegetables.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tofu scramble is heated through and slightly golden.
Taste the tofu scramble and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt or spices.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve the tofu scramble warm with sliced avocado, lime wedges, and additional garnishes of your choice. Enjoy!
