Vegan Breakfast Recipe: Black Bean Tofu Scramble

This Black Bean Tofu Scramble recipe has a spicy Mexican flair plus, it’s a belly filling meal that easily keeps you full through ’til lunch.  I serve it with a variety of toppings, the standards like avocado, spinach, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, salsa, vegan sour cream, etc.  You can serve it on a tortilla as well, but we like that Flax-seed Flat-out bread. Flax is good for you and they are tortilla-like, so it makes it a healthier tortilla substitute.
