Join us in celebrating the publication of Kim-Julie Hansen’s new cookbook Best of Vegan, and make your weekend breakfasts all the more scrumptious and interesting with this delicious tofu and veggie breakfast wrap recipe!
If you don’t love tofu, you probably just haven’t found the right way to prepare it yet! Grating or scrambling tofu and then cooking it with veggies and spices can be both flavourful and very filling given tofu’s high protein content. Feel free to customize this recipe to your liking.
