Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz firm tofu
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 15 oz canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 green onion, chopped
- 1 lime
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup salsa
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean towel and placing a weight on top for 10 minutes.
Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small pieces resembling scrambled eggs.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu, turmeric powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tofu is heated through and well coated with the spices.
In another pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the drained black beans to the red bell pepper. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to ensure the beans are heated thoroughly.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side until pliable or follow package instructions if microwave warming is preferred.
Assemble the breakfast tacos by filling each corn tortilla with a portion of the tofu scramble, black bean mixture, and a few slices of avocado.
Top with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and salsa to taste.
Serve the vegan breakfast tacos immediately and enjoy!
