Mexican food for breakfast is probably one of my favourite things in the world. Huevos rancheros? Best. Ever. However, I choose not to eat eggs or dairy, so what am I to do? Well, I get as close as I can, vegan-style, with a delicious tofu scramble and mexi-flavours like avocado, cilantro, salsa, spices, beans and lime.

Put those ingredients in pretty much anything and that, I will eat. The tofu scramble is delicious just on it’s own too, so feel free to just enjoy that if you’re pressed for time or ingredients!

  • 4 large white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • heaping 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 a red pepper, diced
  • 1 package of extra-firm or pressed tofu, crumbled
  • 1/2 tsp each: cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and turmeric, mixed with 3 tsp of water

To Make the Burritos

  • 5 large tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Add in the garlic, red onion, red pepper and mushrooms and cook until the onions and mushrooms start to soften, about 6 or 7 minutes. Add a little water if needed.
  3. Add the crumbled tofu and spice mixture to the pan.
  4. Stir well to mix it all up and cook until the tofu is heated through.
  5. Heat up the refried beans (optional, I added mine cold).
