Ingredients
Scale
Tofu Mixture
- 1 block of extra-firm tofu, water pressed out
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup chopped kale
- ½ small onion, diced
Assembly
- 4 burrito-size tortillas
- Salsa, to taste
- Avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the tofu: Using your fingers, crumble the extra-firm tofu into a large mixing bowl until it reaches a scrambled-egg consistency.
- Season the tofu: Add the nutritional yeast, chili powder, garlic powder, and turmeric to the crumbled tofu. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the tofu.
- Sauté onions: Heat a nonstick or lightly greased pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 3 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant, stirring occasionally.
- Cook tofu mixture: Add the seasoned tofu to the pan with onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and to help the tofu absorb the flavors.
- Add kale: Stir in the chopped kale and continue cooking the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the kale to wilt and incorporate with the tofu thoroughly.
- Assemble burritos: Warm tortillas if desired. Place a portion of the tofu scramble on each tortilla. Top with salsa and optional avocado slices.
- Roll and serve: Roll up the tortillas tightly to form burritos. Serve immediately and enjoy a hearty and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- Use up veggies in your crisper: Substitute kale with diced zucchini, chopped spinach, grated broccoli or cauliflower, or cherry tomatoes for variety and to use up leftover vegetables.
- Make sure the spices are dispersed evenly: Thorough mixing of spices into the tofu is key for consistent flavor throughout the scramble.
- Best with extra-firm tofu: Using extra-firm tofu provides the best texture for the scramble, keeping it hearty and less watery.
