Tofu Scramble & Vegetable Wrap
This is my vegan take on the egg wrap but has Tofu and vegetables wrapped in a whole meal wrap that give you the added for the health benefits. It tastes so delicious and you can add what you please to make it tantalizing for your taste buds. I like to add some chilli and avocado, but you could add mayo and tomato sauce… its up to you…

I love tofu. It is so versatile and is a great vegan source of protein. When you make it like this, it really taste like cheesy eggs. I mean, I don’t really like eggs anymore but I do love this scramble. And when you put it in a wrap, its next level…
Ingredients for Tofu Scramble & Vegetable Wrap:
- Firm Tofu – I like to use organic.
- Chili Oil – optional, otherwise you can use chili flakes if you like a hit without the calories.
- Vegetables – I like to use leek, zuchinni, mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower.
- Nutritional Yeast – I call this my vegan cheese. You can get it from the health section of the supermarket.
- Turmeric – get the best quality you can afford. It will make all the difference.
- Garlic Powder – optional
- Wraps – wholemeal & I like to use ones that have the least amount of sodium as possible.
- Salad for the wraps – I like to use lettuce, red cabbage, capsicum, cucumber & carrot.
- Hummus – see the recipe in my blog.
- Avocado
So I like to make bulk tofu scramble as it is so versatile and you can use it with anything. On salad, in a wrap, roll or toast (just like eggs if that’s the way you like to think about it).
How to make Tofu Scramble & Vegetable wrap:
Now I don’t usually cook with oil, and you do not need to for this recipe, but I like to use chili oil because it is delicious. Then fry up the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, then crumble the tofu in your hands and add to the vegetables. Fry off until it is slightly browned. You may need to add water to stop it from sticking. You can also use vegetable stock if you prefer.
Then once it is browned and vegetables are softened, you can add the nutritional yeast, turmeric & garlic. Add a dash of water as required and it is ready.
To make the wrap, lay the hummus, and avocado on the bottom, place the lettuce and other vegetables on top, followed by the tofu scramble. Add any sauces you may like such as sweet chili, hot sauce or even BBQ sauce. I like to serve this with a salad, then sit down and enjoy…
