Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add minced garlic and jalapeño to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 3
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet. Break it up further with a spoon if needed. Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the tofu to brown slightly.
- 4
Stir in the nutritional yeast and plant-based milk. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the scramble to become slightly creamy.
- 5
Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions. You can do this in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.

To assemble the burritos: Lay out a warm tortilla. Spoon a quarter of the tofu scramble down the center. Top with a quarter of the black beans and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- 7
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like avocado slices, salsa, hot sauce, or vegan sour cream. Enjoy your delicious and spicy breakfast burrito!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 25g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Toast your spices in a dry pan for 30 seconds before using to bring out deeper, smokier flavors.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
