Vegan Huevos Rancheros with Tofu Recipe (High Protein)

This vegan huevos rancheros with tofu recipe is a plant-based version of the classic Mexican breakfast or brunch. A hearty plate with tofu scramble, spicy beans, & vegetables!
 
Instead of eggs, I make a soft-scramble tofu loaded with spices and great flavors to make this dish vegan. I love serving this up with a big scoop of pineapple pico de gallo salsa and warm tortillas for a delicious weekend brunch.

Dig into these amazing vegan huevos rancheros for breakfast or brunch, they make a fantastic weekend meal.  Huevos rancheros have always been one of my favorite dishes to order, I don’t know when exactly the obsession started, but probably began when I was living in Los Angeles. Huevos rancheros are on every brunch menu.
 
There’s nothing better than warmly spiced black beans, fresh eggs-  or in this case a tofu scramble- and a pile of tortillas, loaded with your favorite hot sauce or salsa. I wanted to make vegan huevos rancheros to enjoy for a hearty and satisfying brunch… and this breakfast was delicious.

  1. In a skillet, crumble the tofu into small pieces. Add the olive oil, chili powder, turmeric, oregano, cumin and the onion. Cook over low heat. Sauté for 5 or 6 minutes until the onion begins to soften and the tofu is well coated in the spices.
  2. Warm the tortillas, and add the roasted red pepper.
  3. Add a scoop of the tofu mixture to each one, then a scoop of the spicy black beans. Top with salsa, cilantro, and jalapenos. Enjoy with some extra salsa and vegan sour cream.
