Tofu Rancheros (my vegan version)

This recipe is based on a vegetarian culinary book my brother gave em for Xmas a few years ago!
I did some changes, to make it completely vegan and healthier.

The original recipe calls for fried eggs which I replaced with scrambled Tofu. It also calls for sour cream, which I omitted. I was out of soy yogurt and never tried the store bought version, to be honest! (I have try making my own homemade vegan sour cream, after all this blog is all about experiences and experiments, right?)

Also, I replaced cilantro by parsley and black been by red. I don't like cilantro and red beens, that's what I had available. As on the original recipe I used avocado, tomato and corn tortilla, of course!

Step one, crumbling the tofu (extra-firm) into a bowl, add mexican seasoning mix, ground cumin, curcuma and dried garlic.

In a separate bowl, mix chopped tomato and onion, parsley, red chilli, olive oil and lime juice. Let it marinate for a while.

Second phase, sauté onion and garlic in a skillet add tofu, a bit of water and cook it for a couple of minutes. I did the same with beens.

In the original version the tortilla (corn) is fried, I grilled it instead- in a hot nonstick skillet.

Third step, I put tortilla in a plate and disposed the rest of the ingredients and you can see in the picture!

Final touch sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, chilli and if needed salt.

Super easy to cook and an alternative option to eggs!
