If you don’t think you like tofu, try these easy vegan breakfast tacos! Tofu has never been my favorite plant-based protein option. I love it when it’s fried or very crispy & otherwise just tolerate it. However, I found myself eating these scrambled tofu breakfast tacos by the plateful.
Savory breakfast tacos are a great brunch option if you’re hosting for a large crowd with different dietary restrictions. It’s easy to set up a taco bar with vegan and non-vegan components (we make cheesy scrambled eggs for the rest of the family). Each family member can go wild with their own topping choices. I personally like mine fairly simple, and opt for scrambled tofu, some black beans, avocado (or guacamole) and thinly sliced radishes.
I also love a side of rosemary roasted potato wedges & hot sauce with these vegan breakfast tacos. Honestly, I could probably eat that combo every morning! The mushroom and fennel mixture is a definite highlight as well. If you don’t like tofu, you could make the mushrooms your primary taco filling! Now the real question…are margaritas acceptable for brunch?! Maybe if they have kombucha!
