Hey everyone! How was your weekend? Did you do anything special to celebrate Mother’s Day? We were invited to my brother and sister-in-laws for a delicious brunch. What a spread! There was no way I was leaving hungry- so much food! I don’t think I ate for the rest of the day, lol. Did you catch CNN’s Parts Unknown last night? It was the episode where Anthony Bourdain visited Newfoundland, where I’m from. If you didn’t see it, check it out! So cool! Anyways, let’s talk tofu scramble lettuce wraps!

Ingredients for Vegan Lettuce Wraps

These tofu scramble lettuce wraps require very little in the ingredient department and it actually yields quite a bit. Talk about easy on the budget too! One of my favourite things to do is make a batch on Sunday for the week ahead.

How to Make Tofu Scramble

Tofu scramble is super easy to prepare, you guys! I love to use my food processor. I just cut the tofu in cubes and pulse for a couple of times until I’ve reached my desired texture. Then? Just go ahead with the recipe. Easy, right?? If you don’t have a food processor, no worries. You can also place the tofu in a bowl and break up with a potato masher.

Tips for Making these Vegan Lettuce Wraps

Use firm tofu. It’s not necessary (or recommended) to press any of the moisture out of the tofu. Open up and proceed with the recipe.
I just barely cook the bell peppers when I’m frying the mixture out. I love to have a little texture on them. Use whatever colour you have on hand.
These have loads of flavour, especially cumin, but garnish is highly recommended. I particularly love pickled red onions and salsa.

Other ways to enjoy Scrambled Tofu

Enjoy with flour or corn tortillas
Serve over nachos instead of meat
Enjoy with rice, quinoa or couscous for a light lunch—>another personal fave of mine!
Have for breakfast with an egg
