    Then all you need to do is stuff the scrambled tofu into a tortilla, along with some other yummy add-ins like:

    • crunchy, shredded lettuce
    • sweet mango salsa

    • and anything else you like!

    Variations

    • I like to use peppers, but you can use any type of vegetables you like - carrots, courgette (zucchini), sweetcorn or mushrooms all work well.
    • You can use either firm or silken tofu, depending on which texture you prefer.
