On my most recent trip to Austin I noticed that almost every menu with breakfast items had “breakfast tacos.” Maybe they exist here in L.A.,  but I’ve bever seen them. I was a little bummed that although Austin is extremely Vegan friendly I never found vegan breakfast tacos! So, naturally, when I got back I made my own version. Now, there are many variations I’m sure, but I stuck with the “traditional” idea. I made one tofu scramble breakfast taco and one with soyrizzo.

This Recipe really doesn’t require much instruction. Basically all you need is your favorite tofu scramble recipe, vegan cheddar cheese, some salsa and/or guacamole and corn tortillas.

To assemble:

Warm corn tortillas and fill with a couple spoonfuls of tofu scramble, sprinkle on some cheese, top with salsa or  guacamole, some fresh tomato and chopped fresh cilantro.

You can make just tofu scramble breakfast tacos or spice it up and add some pre-packaged soyrizzo.

Have fun with this and share your ideas! Breakfast potatoes perhaps?

Our dinner/book club just finished reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Because it’s based off a Greek family,  we decided to have a Greek dinner with our discussion.

After some searching for a recipe simple yet packed with flavor I decided on Gigantes Plaki. This dish is basically butter beans in a tomato sauce. I served it on sourdough bread as sort of a fun twist on Bruschetta.

I love pancakes. I love breakfast and I love sweet potatoes. I know, I know, I know.  Just say it! I’m a broken record. I’m always posting about pancakes or potatoes!  But come on! If you can’t admit to loving one of these things, then you must be off your rocker! Lately, my roommate and I have been obsessed with sweet potatoes. She claims that if a potato is called for in a recipe, you might as well replace it with a sweet potato. The sweet potato will make EVERYTHING ten times better. You know what? I agree! So, broken record or not, I will continue making delicious meals pertaining to breakfast and/or sweet potatoes for awhile….. because you can’t go wrong with either! So please, enjoy these yummy pancakes. Serve them for breakfast or get crazy and serve them for dinner!
