Ingredients
Tofu Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Tumeric
- 1 Tsp Ground Pepper
- 1 Tsp Granulated Garlic
- 1/2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
For The Scramble
- 2 Blocks Extra Firm Tofu drained and lightly pressed*
- 1 Poblano Pepper diced
- 1 Anahiem Pepper diced
- 1 Red Bell Pepper diced
- 1/2 Small yellow onion diced
- Salt
- Lime Wedge
Optional For Breakfast Tacos
- Soft Tortillas
- Cilantro chopped
- Green Onions chopped
- Radishes thinly sliced
- Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat
- Once hot, add a splash of water (to prevent sticking and keep this recipe oil free) then add diced peppers and onions
- Season with salt & the juice of a lime wedge and cook, stirring frequently until soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes
- Remove cooked peppers and onions to a bowl
- In the same pan, still over medium heat, crumble the tofu into the pan
- Sprinkle the tofu seasonings onto the crumbled tofu and cook until seasonings are evenly distributed and any remaining liquid from the tofu has cooked out.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if disired
- Add the cooked pepper mixture and cook all together for about 5-7 more minutes, giving the flavors time to meld
- Serve with tacos, plain or allow to cool and store in your refrigerator for 4-5 days
Notes
- Pressing Tofu to remove the liquid is almost always a step you shouldn't skip, for this scramble though I've noticed that if you're short on time just squeezing out as much liquid as you can with your hands will work.
