Description

This Mexican tofu scramble sits on a bed of cauliflower rice and kale for a quick, easy, low-carb, healthy dinner perfect for Meatless Monday!

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces, weight Firm Tofu
  • 4 cups Packed Kale, Torn Into Bite Sized Pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons Plus 2 Teaspoons Olive Oil, Divided Use
  • 6 cups Cauliflower, Roughly Chopped (for 6 Cups You'll Need 1 Large Head)
  • ⅔ cups Onion, Diced
  • ¼ teaspoons Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Cumin Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
  • 2 teaspoons Adobo Sauce (from A Container Of Chiles In Adobo Sauce)
  • ⅔ cups Salsa Of Choice
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 cup Cilantro, Roughly Chopped
  • 1  Large Avocado, Peeled, Pitted, Roughly Chopped
  • 4  Poached Eggs
  • Salt To Taste
  • Pepper To Taste

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400 F.

Begin by pressing and draining the tofu. To do this, open the package of tofu and drain it out. Then, wrap it generously in paper towel and put it on a plate. Put another plate on top, and then put something very heavy on top of the plate (I used a cast iron skillet). Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the kale and 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss until the kale is well coated. Place on a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the kale is crunchy, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Place the cauliflower in a large food processor and process until it breaks down and resembles rice. Place the cauliflower rice into a large bowl and microwave for 5-6 minutes, until the cauliflower softens. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Once the tofu has drained, pat it dry and cut into ¼ inch slices. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan on medium/high heat and place the tofu slices in. Once they are golden brown and crispy, flip and cook until the other side goes golden brown. Then, using your spatula break up the tofu into small pieces.

Turn the heat down to medium and add the onion, smoked paprika, cumin and garlic. Cook until the onion softens, about 2-3 minutes. Add the adobo sauce and cook for another minute. Then stir in the salsa until well mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.

Toss the cauliflower rice with the lime juice and cilantro and divide between plates. Top each with some of the kale chips, scrambled tofu, avocado and a poached egg, if using. Devour!

Notes: How to poach an egg: Place a few inches of water into a large pot and bring to just a simmer on high heat. Crack the eggs into individual ramekins (I find it easier to gently slide them into the pot this way). Once the water is just simmering, place the ramekins as close to the water as possible and slide the eggs in one at a time, leaving space between them. Turn off the heat, cover the pot and set the timer for 4 minutes. Once cooked, scoop the eggs out with a slotted spoon and eat!
