These Vegan Breakfast Tacos with scrambled tofu and roasted potatoes are spiced with southwest flavors and are so delicious. This hearty dish would be perfectly suitable for lunch or dinner too!
Any time of day is a good time for tacos, but I specifically made these healthy tacos for breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you start it out with a winning combination of protein, carbs, vitamins, minerals and heathy fats.
These Vegan Breakfast Tacos have it all – scrambled tofu, roasted potatoes and veggies, southwest spices, and lots of toppings.
I brought you this Easy Tofu Scramble quite awhile ago. It’s delicious on it’s own, but it also makes the perfect protein packed addition to these vegan breakfast tacos.
I make this scramble with mushrooms when I eat it alone, but sometimes I leave them out when I make these tacos. It’s great either way, so you choose which way you prefer!
What savory breakfast is complete without some sort of crispy potatoes? That’s right, none worth talking about! So, we’re not leaving them out of this delicious breakfast recipe either. In fact, we’re making them even better by roasting them with bell peppers, jalapeños, onion and spices.
Top these tacos off any way you please.
I suggest salsa, avocado, sliced jalapeños, and my Southwest Vegan Ranch Dressing. Proving yet again, that my dairy free ranch dressing goes perfectly with everything!
And if you’re feeling indulgent and really want to take it up a notch, try a slice of vegan cheese. Put the cheese on the tortilla first and then add the still hot potatoes and scrambled tofu so the cheese melts a bit. SO good!
Take your breakfast game up a notch with these Vegan Breakfast Tacos!

These look so good! I don’t usually feel up for cooking in the morning, but this sounds perfect even for lunch and dinner. Thanks for sharing!
Jenn S. says
Definitely for a lazy weekend morning!
Linda from Veganosity says
I’m in LOVE with Mexican food, especially for breakfast. If I hadn’t already had breakfast I’d have to make these. Maybe for lunch?
Jenn S. says
Perfect for lunch too!! Thanks, Linda!
Vanessa @ VeganFamilyRecipes says
What a perfect, healthy way to start your day! i love a good breakfast taco but usually don’t find the time to make them in the morning rush but I’ll have to try this on the weekend 😉 All scrolled past your veggie cream cheese recipe and just had to remind you (though I’m sure you are fully aware) how insanely delicious that recipe of yours is!
Jenn S. says
Oh, Vanessa, thank you so much! That cream cheese is a huge favorite around here, too, and even with my very NOT plant based extended family. 🙂 So, yeah, these tacos aren’t going to be happening on a busy school morning or anything…unless you have all the components already done and you just have to assemble. Enjoy!
Anjali @ Vegetarian Gastronomy says

Alisa Fleming says
To this date, it still amazes me how much tofu scramble looks like scrambled eggs! But I like the taste of the tofue waaaay better.
Jenn S. says
Agree!! Thank you, Alisa!
Vicky says
These look amazing but however did you find time to make them mid-week – I applaud you!
Jenn S. says
Thank you, Vicky. We actually enjoyed them over the weekend. I just didn’t post until Tuesday. 🙂 Definitely not a mid-week breakfast. But they keep VERY well, so make everything ahead of time, reheat in the morning and assemble! Voila! 🙂
Nayna Kanabar says

Thanks, Nayna! Enjoy!
Strength and Sunshine says
Well as long as there’s potatoes, count me in!!! I’d totally go salsa with these!!
Jenn S. says
Yeah, can’t go wrong with potatoes! 🙂 And salsa is always the right answer (no matter the question!). Thanks, Rebecca!
Becky Striepe says
These look amazing. Am I crazy for wanting to spread your veggie cream cheese on the tortillas before piling on everything else?
Jenn S. says
Not crazy. Maybe genius?! Thanks, Becky!
