How to Make Vegan Tofu Scramble Breakfast Step-by-Step
- Step 1: Place the drained tofu on a plate, then place another plate on top to press out excess liquid while preparing other ingredients. Drain off any released liquid before cooking.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled soyrizo and cook until crispy, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: Return the empty skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking down for 2 minutes until softened. Crumble tofu into the skillet, sprinkle garlic powder, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper over it, and toss to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Step 4: Stir in shredded vegan mozzarella and unsweetened non-dairy milk, mixing until cheese melts and tofu is creamy. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes until milk is mostly absorbed and scramble is soft.
- Step 5: Heat the flour tortillas until pliable. Spread vegan chipotle mayo down the center of each tortilla. Layer with spinach, tofu scramble, crispy soyrizo, and sliced avocado. Wrap the burrito tightly and cut in half to serve.
