Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14-16 ounces) firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak), optional for eggy flavor
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or other cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • 4-6 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, cilantro, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Crumble the pressed tofu into a bowl.
  2. Add nutritional yeast, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, and black salt (if using).
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Gently toss to coat the tofu evenly.
  5. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add the seasoned tofu to the skillet.
  8. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Stir in the chopped cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  10. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  11. Fill each tortilla with the tofu scramble.
  12. Add your favorite toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Pressing the tofu is important to remove excess water, which helps it achieve a better texture.
  • Black salt (kala namak) provides a sulfuric, eggy flavor. Use it if you want a more authentic eggy taste.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or corn to the scramble.
  • Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference.
