Spice Things Up With These Tofu Scramble Tacos
Are tacos one of those foods you could literally eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Well then, you’re like me. Tacos have become one of my go-to weeknight recipes because they can be thrown together in a short amount of time, and they can also be a well-balanced trifecta of vegetables, carbs and protein. Tofu scramble is a common vegan breakfast recipe, yet it makes a great filling for tacos too. See — it is possible (and healthy) to eat tacos all day every day.

Start by pressing your tofu. You can use this simple plate method by sandwiching the tofu block between paper towels and plates. You can also find tofu presses online.
Heat olive oil in skillet on medium heat. Add diced bell pepper and onions and cook until onions are translucent.
Crumble tofu using your hands or a fork.
Add remaining ingredients and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
