Description

Whip up these savory breakfast tacos (made with our smoky “Chorizo” and tofu) for an energizing, protein-packed start to the day. Pair with a frothy iced matcha or steamy mug of coffee for ultimate satisfaction.

Method

  1. Make the salsa. Toss all the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside to let the flavors blend.

  2. Meanwhile, make the tofu scramble. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes, until soft. Crumble in the block of tofu and add the spices. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the tofu is warm and well mixed with the spices. Set aside.

  3. Use the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to cook the “Chorizo” according to the package instructions.

  4. Add the tofu scramble to the pan with the cooked “Chorizo” and toss to combine.

  5. Serve the scramble in tortillas along with the salsa, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro to garnish. Enjoy!
