Ingredients

- ½ cup of sliced nopalitos (cactus - from a jar)
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons of ground cumin
- pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 (14-ounce) package of extra firm tofu drained and pressed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, mushrooms, nopalitos, and garlic, and saute for 3 to 4 minutes.

- Using your fingers, crumble the tofu into the pan and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the tofu is golden.
- Sprinkle in salt, if you’re using.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Drain and rinse the napoles: This helps reduce sliminess and remove the brine.
- For a ‘softer/wetter’ consistency: Add a splash of dairy-free milk/cream to the tofu breakfast scramble to your desired consistency.
- For the eggiest flavor: Add a tiny pinch of kala namak.
