Make something different for breakfast by trying out these vegan Southwest Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos filled with veggies and spicy flavour!

This Southwest Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos recipe is sponsored by Simply Organic (@SimplyOrganicFoods) for their #OrganicMoments campaign. As always, all opinions in this post are my own. This page contains affiliate links, click here to learn more.

Around here, weekday breakfasts are usually simple and quick, but when the weekend rolls around, I like to make things that take a little more time, like waffles and pancakes. The beauty of these breakfast tacos is that they can be made either for a rushed morning breakfast or for a lazy weekend breakfast.

To make them for weekday mornings, simply make the scramble the day before, cool, and refrigerate. In the morning, warm up your tortillas and the scramble, assemble, and you have yourself a hot, delicious breakfast!

Ingredients for Southwest Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos recipe.

To make this recipe, you’ll just need a few ingredients, including Simply Organic’s new Southwest Seasoning. This smoky spice blend has a bit of kick from chipotle pepper and cayenne, and it also contains paprika, cumin, and lemon peel.

So rather than having to combine several spices to achieve that Southwest flavour everyone loves, you have it all in one bottle. Super easy and convenient for any dish you want to infuse Southwest flavour into. So of course, I had to use it for my Southwest Tofu Scramble Breakfast Tacos!

The seasoning gives the scramble a delicious boost of flavour that you’ll enjoy if you like spicy, savoury foods. Some other dishes this Southwest Seasoning would be great in:

  • lentil tacos
  • chili
  • spicy rice
  • black beans
  • burritos
  • salsa
  • tostadas
  • …and so much more!

Now, these are called breakfast tacos, but they can be enjoyed any time of the day. The first time I made them, I had them for lunch.

You also do not have to stick to them being tacos. You can serve the scramble with toast and fruit on the side, or you can add 1/2 cup of black beans to the scramble to bulk it up and make wraps with a side salad for supper.

It’s really an any-time-of-day meal!

Another way you can customize this recipe is to experiment with different toppings. Each time I’ve made them, I’ve topped them differently and my favourite way is always with just sliced avocados, and that’s it.

Some other ideas for Southwest breakfast scramble taco garnishes:

  • sliced avocado
  • salsa
  • diced tomatoes
  • vegan cheese shreds
  • cilantro
  • green onions
  • chives

Whatever you decide to top them with, they’ll be delicious!
