– 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
– 1 tsp turmeric
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– A big pinch of salt
– A splash of olive oil
– A handful of fresh cilantro
– A squeeze of lime juice

Instructions

1. Crumble the tofu into a bowl with your hands until it resembles scrambled eggs.
2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Sprinkle in the turmeric, garlic powder, and a big pinch of salt—stir to coat evenly.
5. Mix in the nutritional yeast and cook for another 2 minutes until the tofu is slightly golden.
6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
7. Mash the avocado in a small bowl with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt.
8. Spoon the tofu scramble onto each tortilla.
9. Top with black beans, diced red onion, and sliced jalapeño.
10. Finish with a dollop of mashed avocado and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Hearty and vibrant, these tacos deliver a creamy avocado contrast to the spiced tofu scramble. Serve them with extra lime wedges for a zesty kick, or stack them for a brunch-friendly platter that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is satisfying.
