Southwestern Tofu Scramble

Recipe Description

This Southwestern Tofu Scramble is one of my go to midweek family meals. It is healthy, plant based and really filling. The secret ingredient in this tofu scramble is turmeric which gives an earthy flavor and a beautiful bright yellow colour! 

What I love most about this recipe is its simplicity. Simply cook the veggies, then add the spices and tofu. Stir through some delicious cilantro and serve with a fresh salsa. I like to have some freshly baked bread on the side too. 

To make my Southwestern Tofu Scramble, you will need the following ingredients:
