Mexican tofu scramble (huevos a la mexicana veganos) is something I craved this beautiful Sunday. I found online a recipe for doing scrambled tofu that included adding turmeric -arguably- to make them yellowish and look like eggs…
Yeah, let’s be realistic, it does not sound very well, at least for me!
This is a vegan version of “huevos a la Mexicana”. To do this Mexican vegan scrambled eggs, basically, you scramble tofu, add some stock, and other spices, mix it with a great Mexican sauce and that is it!
Vegan stock is a great addition to a lot of my recipes. My favorite one is Marigold vegan stock reduced in salt. Have a look at their products here.
You can complement this recipe with our nutty turmeric latte!
Here is the final result, judge yourself!

Notes
- I am combining it with the Mexican sauce recipe, you can find instructions here
- This is just one way of many to do this delicious recipe, you can experiment with black beans, sandwiches, adding more oil, or other types of oil, other types of sauce, for example, guacamole!
- Try to include, like me: spinach or other greens, because they are great for your health, feel free to put kale, broccoli, peas, etc
- You need to add some carbs or a bit more fat in order to fill satisfied. Tofu has almost no fat/carbs and the amount of oil used was very small. I did not have anything but sourdough bread at the moment, but I am sure it will go great with rice, beans or the roasted potatoes recipe
