Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black salt (Kala Namak)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Begin by draining the extra-firm tofu and wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Press gently to remove excess moisture.
Crumble the tofu into small pieces using your hands or a fork, achieving a scramble-like texture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, black salt, and ground black pepper over the tofu. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Cook the tofu scramble for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add drained black beans and stir until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side or until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos: Lay out the warm tortillas and add a spoonful of the tofu scramble and black beans onto each tortilla.
Top each taco with slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side and a dollop of salsa for added flavor. Enjoy your vegan breakfast tacos!
