Let's be honest, we all loved grilled tortillas, and I honestly feel like this is the best breakfast I've eaten in my entire 24 years of life. Even if you aren't vegan, or vegetarian even, the flavors that pop out of this sandwich will make you fall in love with breakfast all over again. Fluffy tofu, sweet potatoes, creamy avocado, and slightly spicy green chili tops it all off. You won't want to pass on breakfast this morning. Top with green chili sauce.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 medium lime, juiced
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon coconut aminos
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch black salt
1 tablespoon water, or more if needed
4 ounces seitan, cut into chunks
1 small tomato, chopped
2 small avocados, diced
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Combine sweet potatoes, onion, bell pepper, lime juice, coconut aminos, garlic powder, and pepper for potatoes in a medium bowl, stirring so that everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until crisp and tender, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, crumble the tofu into a large, nonstick pan. Add nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, garlic powder, pepper, and black salt. Cook over low heat, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time if the tofu starts to stick, for 10 minutes. Add seitan and tomato, and cook until everything is warmed through, about 20 minutes.
  • Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Place some potatoes, avocado, and tofu scramble on the tortilla. Start at the bottom and fold the tortilla edge up and over the center into a wrap. Repeat to form remaining wraps.
  • Heat a flat-bottomed, cast iron pan over medium heat. Place the wraps in the hot pan, folded-side down. Cook until golden brown and sealed, about 4 minutes.

TOFU SCRAMBLE



Tofu Scramble image

This quick scramble is a combination of flavors and textures that will surprise and delight tofu-lovers and doubters alike. Soy sauce, turmeric and cumin provide bold seasoning, while searing the block of tofu on both sides before breaking it up yields plenty of crispy bits as well as tender ones. You can add cooked vegetables, leafy greens, beans, cheese or nutritional yeast with the scallions in Step 4, though you may want to increase the seasoning depending on the amount of extras you add. You can also swap in hot sauce, mustard or tahini for the soy sauce and play around with spice combinations, but don't skip the splash of water - it helps the tofu soak up all the flavors. Serve with toast, tortillas, salad or breakfast potatoes.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14-ounce) block firm or extra-firm tofu
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cut the block of tofu in half horizontally as you would a hamburger bun. Pat both pieces dry and wrap in paper towels. If time allows, press the tofu by placing a cast-iron skillet or other heavy object on top of the wrapped tofu for about 30 minutes. (This helps remove moisture so the tofu retains its shape better during cooking.)
  • In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the soy sauce, turmeric and cumin with 2 tablespoons water.
  • Unwrap the tofu and season on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the tofu blocks and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the tofu and cook until golden brown and crisp on the other side, another 3 to 4 minutes. If the tofu is emitting water, hold the tofu with a spatula and pour the water out of the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break up the tofu into chunks. Add the scallions and the seasoning mixture and cook, stirring and continuing to break up the tofu, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
