LATIN SCRAMBLE
When I was raising my son Jesse, Friday’s were a sacred pizza and movie night for our tripod family. Occasionally we’d deviate from pizza, and make over-loaded nachos. Dinners had to be fun, flavorful, nutrient infused and easy-to-eat from the coffee table. Shifting away from spicy chorizo this scramble was created. It’s great for tacos, salads, tostados and fills avocados perfectly.
INGREDIENTS:
1, 350 gr pkg organic tofu or tempeh, crumbled or diced
1 tbsp Tamari sauce (gluten free) or 1 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp Maison Orphee olive oil, more if needed/desired
1 onion, minced
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp ginger, minced
½ -1 tsp each cumin, chili powder, chipotle or smoked paprika, turmeric, oregano, fresh or dried chili peppers, sea salt, black pepper, to taste
¾ cup fresh salsa, plus more to serve
1/3 cup nutritional yeast, and, or your favorite non-dairy or home-made cashew cheese
Cilantro or parsley
DIRECTIONS:
Pair with additional salsa, sliced avocado or guacamole, cashew cheese, veggies, re-fried beans, tortilla chips, cilantro, etc.
