Perfect for Meal Prep – The tofu egg mixture can be made ahead of time, and the toppings stay good in the refrigerator for days, making it easy to assemble the tacos quickly for a hassle-free breakfast during the week. Cook tofu egg scramble, portion it into individual containers, and store it for up to a week. When ready to eat, layer it on tacos and add toppings.
Does this really taste like eggs?
The tofu egg tastes remarkably like eggs, thanks to black salt (kala namak), which imparts an incredibly authentic eggy flavor, while turmeric adds a beautiful golden hue, just like an egg scramble. Combining silken tofu and extra firm tofu creates a delicious mouthfeel, with the silken tofu providing a creamy base and the extra firm tofu adding the right amount of texture. Additionally, this tofu egg scramble is lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, making it even better than the real thing.

Vegan Breakfast Tacos Recipe Tips

Meal Prep: Prepare the tofu egg mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. This can make breakfast preparation quicker and easier on busy mornings.
Temperature Control: Cook the tofu egg mixture over medium heat to prevent drying or sticking to the pan. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
Make it Soy-free: Use soy free tofu such as lentil tofu and swap the silken tofu for a splash of plant milk.
