    Healthy Breakfast Tacos w/ Scrambled Tofu & Roasted Potatoes. The flavors of the southwest are prominent in these delicious vegan tacos that are suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Top them off with avocado, sliced jalapeño, salsa, and my very favorite Creamy Cumin Dairy Free Ranch Dressing!

    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!

    Folded tortilla filled with scrambled tofu, roasted potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and a drizzle of ranch dressing. A bowl of lime wedges and a stack of tortillas in the background.

    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!

    Ingredients

    Roasted Potatoes

    • 1 ½ pounds red potatoes scrubbed well, peeled if desired, and patted dry, cut into bite size cubes
    • ½ yellow onion chopped
    • 1-2 bell peppers chopped
    • 1 jalapeño seeded and diced
    • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
    • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    For the Tacos

    • 1 recipe Easy Tofu Scramble
    • 6 tortillas gluten free, if desired

    Toppings, optional

    • Avocado
    • Sliced jalapeño
    • Salsa
    • Nutritional Yeast
    • Slice of vegan cheese
    • Southwest Vegan Ranch Dressing

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, onion, bell peppers, jalapeño, lemon juice, salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss well to combine. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in one even layer. Bake for 20 minutes. Stir potatoes and veggies and arrange back into an even layer. Cook another 15 to 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until crispy.
    • Meanwhile while the potatoes are baking, prepare the Easy Tofu Scramble.
    • To serve, fill each tortilla with a slice of vegan cheese (if using), the potato/pepper mixture, tofu scramble, and toppings of choice.

    Notes

    ~Be sure to press your tofu for the scramble before you start the rest of this recipe. 
    ~You may also make the Creamy Cumin Ranch Dressing ahead of time if you plan to use it. It can be kept in the fridge for several days.

      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?

      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!5 stars

        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!

        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! 🙂

      These look amazing. Am I crazy for wanting to spread your veggie cream cheese on the tortillas before piling on everything else?

        Not crazy. Maybe genius?! Thanks, Becky!
