How to Prepare Cheesy Tofu Scramble [Vegan]

  1. Add a few drizzles of olive oil to your cast iron pan over medium heat.  Promptly add your onion, jalapeño & bell pepper. Sauté until softened (about 4 minutes). Prepare your spices in a bowl and set them aside.
  2. To add your tofu, remove it from the package and drain. No need to press it. Then start to crumble the tofu (see pics below) into the pan. Cook for about 6 or 7 minutes until the water from the tofu evaporates.
  3. Take your spice mixture and add water. Whisk until it has a sauce-like consistency (thicker) and pour over the tofu. Stir to combine and allow to cook for another few minutes. In the meantime, grate your cheese. Then add that and the nutritional yeast to the pan. Stir thoroughly. Add your spinach & tomatoes cook until wilted.
  4. Top with fresh cilantro and promptly devour.
