Ingredients

  • 1 lb Extra-Firm Tofu
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 0.5 tsp Turmeric
  • 0.25 tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak)
  • 0.5 Onion
  • 0.5 Bell Pepper
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 cups Ranchero Sauce
  • 8 Corn Tortillas
  • 1 Avocado
  • 0.25 cup Cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 lb Extra-Firm Tofu on a clean surface and press firmly to remove as much excess water as possible. Once pressed, crumble the tofu into small, irregular pieces into a medium bowl.
  2. 2Add the 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast, 0.5 tsp Turmeric, and 0.25 tsp Black Salt (Kala Namak) to the crumbled tofu. Use your hands or a fork to mix these ingredients thoroughly into the tofu until evenly distributed.
  3. 3Finely dice the 0.5 Onion and the 0.5 Bell Pepper into small, uniform pieces. Mince the 2 cloves Garlic until very fine.
  4. 4Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C). Add the diced onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
  5. 5Add the prepared tofu mixture to the skillet with the softened vegetables. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tofu is heated through and has developed some light brown color.
  6. 6While the tofu mixture is cooking, warm the 8 Corn Tortillas. You can do this by placing them directly over a low gas flame for about 15-20 seconds per side until pliable, or by warming them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until soft and warm.
  7. 7To assemble, place two warmed tortillas on each of four plates. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the 2 cups Ranchero Sauce over each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the tofu scramble mixture.
  8. 8Thinly slice the 1 Avocado and arrange the slices on top of the tofu scramble. Sprinkle the chopped 0.25 cup Cilantro over the avocado and tofu scramble to finish.
