Ingredients
- 1 block firm tofu, shredded with a cheese grater
- 1 red potato, diced
- 1 jalapeno, diced (adjust to taste)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1/3 cup almond milk or oat milk
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon Indian black Kala Namak salt
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Almond flour tortillas
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Shred the tofu with a cheese grater. Dice the potato, jalapeno, onion, and bell pepper.
- Cook the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add the Aromatics: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the onions become translucent.
- Add the Tofu and Tahini: Add the shredded tofu and tahini to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Sprinkle with turmeric powder to mimic the color of eggs.
- Mix in the Almond Milk and Nutritional Yeast: Pour in the almond milk or oat milk and add the nutritional yeast. This gives the dish a creamy texture and a hint of cheesy flavor.
- Season with Kala Namak: Add the Indian black Kala Namak salt to the tofu mixture and stir well. This salt imparts an eggy flavor and adds umami. Add regular salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Jalapenos: Add the diced jalapenos to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they soften.
- Warm the Tortillas: While the scramble is cooking, warm the almond flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave.
- Serve: Spoon the tofu scramble onto the warmed tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Roll the tortillas or fold them taco-style and enjoy!
Notes
- Shredding the tofu gives it a texture similar to scrambled eggs, making it perfect for breakfast or brunch.
- Adjust the quantity of jalapenos based on your spice preference.
- Start with a small amount of Kala Namak salt and adjust according to taste. It has a strong sulfurous aroma, providing the egg-like flavor.
