Cuban Breakfast Scramble - a flavorful variation of the savory breakfast standard - a reminder of a sunny tropical vacation that you can revisit anytime.
I ate some plantains on vacation. A lot of plantains.
Now that we are back home, I am recreating some of the flavors I enjoyed last month. I have some fun recipe ideas I cannot wait to share.
I've never really been a fan of scrambled eggs. Honestly, I've not been a big fan of eggs in general. Eggs were one of those things that if I thought about them too much, I couldn't eat them.
I've been loving scrambles lately, though, and these are egg free! Tofu scrambles are nothing new, I know. This one is just so good that I keep making it. I have made it three times in the last week. Once I used a whole block of tofu, doubling the recipe, snacking on leftovers throughout the day.
Wrapping it in a warm corn tortilla blanket.
