Mmm Mexcellent. I like a good savory breakfast/brunch item. These tofu rancheros fit the bill nicely.
Tofu Rancheros for one
1 TBS corn oil (or annatto oil for a nice mexicany color)
2 TBS onion
1 green chili (I used canned)
1/4 block tofu (the bridge tofu pressed overnight in the super awesome tofu Xpress*)
1 tsp adobo seasoning
1/4 tsp black salt
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 cup salsa (I used Zukay mild salsa viva)
2 corn tortillas
In a small skillet (cast iron if you’ve got it), saute onion and chili in a little corn oil until softened. Add the adobo seasoning. Add broken up pieces of tofu and add black salt and turmeric. Cook about 5 minutes until tofu is warmed. While tofu is cooking toast 2 corn tortillas to get warm and just a little crispy. Move tofu mixture to one side of the pan and add salsa to the other. Heat salsa for 2-3 minutes to warm and reduce any excess liquid.
Place warmed tortillas on a plate and top with tofu mixture, then pour on heated salsa. Enjoy with a little chipotle vegenaise (1/2 canned chipotle chopped and mixed with 2 TBS Vegenaise) or tofutti sour cream.
Enjoy!
*Just so you know, I don’t get awesome free stuff from any of the vendors I’m pimping on my blog. It’s just an honest appraisal of the products I’ve found, purchased, and use. I obviously like cooking gadgets and I grocery shop as a hobby. If anyone wants to send me some free stuff to review I’m all for it.
I did get some POM juice last year, and I noted that they sent it to me. And Frito Lay sent me a coupon, but that’s because I sent them a message that I was really happy they made vegan Doritos. I don’t think they’re reading my vegan blog.
Vegan Dance if you want to 
Mmmm…I make something similar to that for breakfast sometimes with tofu and black beans. Nothing beats a savory breakfast.

So yummy! And no cilantro! YAY – I hate that stuff! :DFree stuff to review is fun! Sometimes I turn things down because I know I won't like them and I don't want to have to write a negative review. Like cherries, anything cherry flavor is going to get an awful review from me! 😀

Those are some seriously good looking tofu rancheros! I've never heard of that tofu xpress gadget, but what a great idea. My tofu press is a jumble of plates, canned tomatoes, and a kitchen towel, that sometimes tips over. I think I need a tofu xpress 🙂

I'm hooked on the tofu xpress, too. I like tofu really firm and it does the job. Awesome looking rancheros!Thanks again for testing for the book and I have dreams of coming to NYC. Especially since I've never been there.
