Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • 8 oz (227 g) extra firm tofu
  • 1 Yukon Gold potato, cubed
  • 1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) Iodized salt
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) ground turmeric

  • 1 Roma tomato, diced

Directions

  1. Crumble the tofu in a mixing bowl.

  4. Add the turmeric, chili powder, and potato, cooking for 1 minute more.



  5. Add the salsa.



  6. Place equal portions of the scrambled tofu on each tortilla (can use flour tortillas or toast), then top with fresh cilantro and tomato.
