INGREDIENTS
- 1 block extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salsa or hot sauce, for serving
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for a few minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Sprinkle with ground cumin, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine the spices with the tofu and vegetables.
Cook the tofu mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and has absorbed the flavors.
If using nutritional yeast, stir it into the tofu mixture for a cheesy flavor.
Warm the tortillas according to the package instructions.
To assemble each burrito, place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the tofu and vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
Add a few slices of avocado on top of the tofu mixture.
If desired, drizzle salsa or hot sauce over the avocado.
Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Serve:
- Serve the Vegan Tofu and Vegetable Breakfast Burritos immediately. They can be enjoyed as a hearty and flavorful breakfast or brunch option.
TIPS
Feel free to add other vegetables or ingredients you enjoy, such as black beans, spinach, or dairy-free cheese.
