How to Make Southwest Scrambles

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and cover the skillet. Continue to sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference). Cook for another 3 minutes.
  4. Crumble 14 ounces of firm tofu into the skillet. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Mix well to combine.
  5. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned.
  6. Serve immediately in a warmed flour tortilla or with toast. Top with your favorite salsa and a dollop of vegan sour cream or avocado for extra creaminess.
