Instructions
Tofu Scramble
Press, then pat dry the tofu to remove as much moisture as possible.
Break the tofu into tiny chunks and add them to a skillet. Mix in the seasonings, then add the oil. Heat over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, then add the beans.
Bake 3-4 russet potatoes at 400ºF for 40 minutes or until slightly softened. The potatoes don’t have to fully bake since you will be pan cooking them.
After baking, allow the potatoes to chill in the refrigerate until the next morning.
The next morning, Peel and chop the potatoes. Set aside.
Add the bell pepper to your pan with a few teaspoons of oil. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until they begin to change color. Add in the onion and sauté another 5-10 minutes or until veggies are cooked.
Remove the veggies from the pan. Add in the dice the potatoes, seasonings and a few tablespoons of oil. Sauté until browned and crispy. Mix the veggies in with the potatoes.
Oven Roasted Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425ºF
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite sized cubes. Use a kitchen towel or paper towel to dry the cut potatoes.
In a large bowl combine 2-3 Tablespoons melted oil, potatoes and seasonings.
Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. You may need to flip the potatoes half way through to evenly brown them.
While the potatoes are cooking, add the bell pepper to a pan with a few teaspoons of oil. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until they begin to change color. Add in the onion and sauté another 5-10 minutes or until veggies are cooked.
When the potatoes are done add the veggies to the baking sheet and toss everything together. Place it back in the oven for a few minutes to reheat the veggies.
To serve
Place a scoop full of tofu mix and a scoop full of potatoes on the tortilla.
Add your favorite toppings and devour.
Enjoy!
Notes
My Instant Pot Breakfast Potatoes are my favorite potatoes for these tacos. They do need to be chilled overnight, but they come together quickly the next morning. If you don’t own an Instant Pot, you can use one of my baking methods above instead. Prepackaged potatoes also work well when you need a quick, last-minute option.
Generously season the potatoes. I usually don't measure the seasonings when using one of the methods above.
A can of black beans typically yields about 1 ½ cups. I like to divide the rinsed beans into 3 portions, using one portion for the tofu and freezing the other 2 for future tacos. If you'd rather use the entire can, double the tofu recipe.
