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!

I hope you enjoy this very simple, vegan-style tofu breakfast burrito. Next, I gotta work on some vegan breakfast tostadas or getting closer to huevos rancheros…if you have any bright ideas, let me know!

Oh, and if you really wanna take this up a notch, make this Real-Deal Homemade Non-Dairy Sour Cream and proceed to smoother your burrito with it. And if you’re feelin’ realllly crazy, make this Cilantro Avocado Cream Sauce and add it in too. P.S. Let me know when it’s ready…I’ll be waiting.
