Mexi Veggie Tofu Scramble ~ Vegan & Gluten Free

An easy Sunday and it's supposed to look a little like summer today.  Even though it hasn't lately, the farmer's market is starting to look like the sun was shining somewhere.  I picked up some fresh zucchini and Walla Walla onions yesterday and they've already made it into a couple meals.  This morning I put together a really simple, but tasty Mexican veggie tofu scramble.


I diced up a box of firm silken tofu and threw it in a medium frying pan with 1 TB hot coconut oil.  While that was working, I roughly chopped a Walla Walla, including the green tops, diced a red bell pepper, and sliced two small zucchinis.  I added the onions and red bell pepper to the tofu and let that sauté until the onions were translucent, then added the zucchini slices.


I keep a Mexican spice blend around that makes it easy to flavor anything quickly.  I sprinkled about 1 tablespoon of the spice blend in the pan and added about a ¼ cup of filtered water and let the mixture simmer until the liquid was absorbed.

Warmed some corn tortillas and served with some fresh pineapple. Filling, very nutritious, and tasty!
