    Vegan Huevos Rancheros with a Mexican-Inspired Tofu Scramble

    By Alisa Fleming on May 5, 2022 Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Happy Cinco de Mayo! The weekend is coming and you deserve something special. Something that you may not have time to make on those hurried weekday mornings. You should make vegan huevos rancheros. This recipe was shared with us by Chef Jason Wyrick. He originally created it for his magazine, The Vegan Culinary Experience. But he has since moved on to manage a meal delivery service in Phoenix called The Vegan Taste.

    Recipe Tips: Vegan Huevos Rancheros

    Chef Jason loves to includes helpful notes with each of his recipes!

    Presentation

    For an extra nice presentation, put a dab of salsa and some chopped cilantro on top of the cooked vegan huevos rancheros. And sprinkle some freshly ground pepper around the plate.

    Time Management

    This recipe most efficiently done if you can manage to cook the tofu scramble at the same time you make the tomato and onion sauce. If you cannot do that, make the sauce first so that it can be immediately added to the tofu scramble without having to take it off the heat.

    Complimentary Food and Drinks

    Vegan huevos rancheros go nicely with orange-flavored water. Orange juice can be too acidic for this, but if you take a couple of orange slices and put them in a glass, you’ll get a very mild and refreshing orange taste.

    How It Works

    Cooking the tortilla in a dry sauté pan allows it to crisp up and puts a little bit of the toasted corn taste onto the pan. When the tofu scramble is sautéed in the same pan, it will pick up that subtle toasted corn flavor. Cooking the sauce separately allows the flavors to combine before it is added to the scrambled tofu.

    Chef’s Notes

    I like toasting the tortillas in the pan instead of the oven because it keeps my house from heating up. Also, doing it without the oil keeps it a bit healthier, too. Lastly, if you have a gas burner, I suggest roasting your own peppers over it. Otherwise, use the cheat and buy a small can of them.

    Traditional huevos rancheros is served with a salsa cooked into it. But I prefer to use the salsa components in this tofu version for a fresher taste.
