Ingredients

• 6 small corn tortillas
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 14 ounces firm tofu
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 small, diced (optional) jalapeño pepper
• 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 1 cut into wedges lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the corn tortillas into 1/2-inch strips, then into small squares or triangles.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tortilla pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become crispy and golden. Remove the tortilla pieces and set them aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.

Step 3

In a small bowl, crumble the firm tofu with your hands to achieve a texture similar to scrambled eggs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the nutritional yeast, turmeric, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture over the crumbled tofu and gently toss to coat.

Step 5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and optional jalapeño, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.

Step 6

Add the seasoned crumbled tofu to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is heated through and slightly golden in spots.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and crispy tortilla pieces. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Serve the Vegan Traditional Migas warm, garnished with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
