Some things to remember about this Mexican Tofu Scramble

Because green beans are at their best flavor when they are a bright beautiful green color be sure not to over cook them. Make sure to leave them al’dente to the touch and bite. The oil used in this recipe is completely optional and does not add or take away from the recipe. The reason I used it, is because my pans are old. Hello Always Pan 🤣. The nutritional yeast is also optional, it does add a cheesy flavor to the tofu but you can add some vegan cheese and it will probably be even better. I used additional plant based milk because I like a moist and creamy scramble but this is also optional. If you are not 100% vegan this recipe can still be enjoyed on Meatless Mondays. Did you know that green beans in spanish are called “Ejotes’? Lets begin shall we!
