How to Make Baja California Tofu Scramble

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion (diced), 1/2 zucchini (diced), 1/2 bell pepper (diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1-2 jalapeños (minced) and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mash 1 block (14 oz) extra-firm tofu with 1 cup packed fresh spinach, 2 tablespoons egg replacer, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Add the juice of 2 limes to the tofu mixture.
  4. Add the tofu mixture to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
