Ingredients
  

For the Tofu Scramble:

  • 1 block firm tofu about 14 oz, drained & crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or any oil that doesn’t hate high heat
  • ½ tsp turmeric for that golden "egg" magic
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika smoky, spicy, delicious
  • ½ tsp garlic powder because garlic makes everything better
  • ½ tsp onion powder because why not?
  • ½ tsp black salt kala namak for that eggy flavor
  • ¼ tsp black pepper just a pinch of heat
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk for that creamy texture

For the Burrito Filling:

  • ½ cup bell peppers diced, any color because variety is life
  • ½ cup mushrooms chopped, because umami is king
  • ½ cup spinach for some sneaky greens
  • ½ avocado sliced, creamy, and absolutely necessary
  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas or whatever you love wrapping food in
  • 2 tbsp salsa because burritos deserve some tangy love

Instructions
 

  • Heat the pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Sauté the bell peppers and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until softened.
  • Crumble the tofu into the pan and stir like your breakfast depends on it.
  • Add the spices (turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, and black pepper). Mix well.
  • Pour in the plant-based milk and stir until everything looks creamy and slightly golden. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Throw in the spinach and let it wilt into the scramble.
  • Warm the tortillas in another pan or microwave for 10 seconds.
  • Spoon the tofu scramble onto each tortilla, add avocado slices, and top with salsa.
  • Wrap it up like a pro—fold in the sides, then roll tightly.
  • Slice and devour while it’s hot.
