Breakfast Tacos
These breakfast tacos have become my Sunday ritual, filled with savory tofu, black beans, and veggies that remind me of cozy brunches with friends.
I first whipped up these breakfast tacos one morning when I needed something hearty but still light enough to keep me energized for the day ahead.
I discovered that pressing the tofu for just a bit longer makes all the difference in texture, giving it a wonderful, chewy bite.
What I love about these tacos is the way they bring a smile to faces around the table, and they're a celebration of simple, wholesome ingredients that can be dressed up however you like.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Firm tofu is my go-to for that nice meaty texture, but if I'm out, I've used chickpeas in a pinch and they work wonderfully too. And if you’ve got kale instead of spinach, toss it in—it's all about using what you've got.
Tips & Notes
- •I always squeeze a bit of lime over my tacos just before serving; it really brightens everything up.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I'll sprinkle some smoked paprika on the tofu for that extra depth of flavor.
- •I keep my leftover toppings in the fridge and toss them into salads or sandwiches throughout the week.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll swap out black beans for lentils if I want a nuttier taste and a bit more bite.
- •If I've got some ripe avocados around, I blend them with a splash of lime and water for a quick, creamy drizzle over the top.
