Anything goes with tofu scrambles. This Mexican style scramble includes spicy vegan chorizo sausage I found at Trader Joe's, crispy smoked paprika potatoes, Spanish onions, a rainbow of sweet peppers, fresh corn, cilantro then topped with avocado. Optional add ins include fresh or Rotel tomatoes, black or pinto beans or even a little vegan Mexican cheese blend. No rules, just yum!
