Ingredients

For the tofu scramble

16 oz extra firm tofu drained and pat dry
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
¼ tsp smoked paprika or regular sweet paprika
½-1 tsp salt or to taste

For the sandwich

4 english muffins
1 tomatoes sliced
1 avocado sliced
¼-⅓ cup vegan mayo optional, or your favorite sandwich sauce

Instructions

Drain and wrap up the block of tofu with paper towels or a clean cloth to remove the excess water.
Warm up a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Then, I like to spray the pan with a little oil, but that's optional.
Add the tofu to the pan by crumbling it using your fingers. Then, add all the spices to the tofu and stir well until all the pieces are covered. Keep cooking on medium-high heat until golden brown to your taste (about 7-10 minutes), stirring once in a while.
Meanwhile, toast your bread and prepare your sandwich fixings.
When ready to eat, spread some vegan mayo over the bread and layer with the tofu scramble, slices of tomato and avocado, plus all your favorite sandwich fixings. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a pan or use the microwave, also delicious cold in sandwiches.
No need to do a tofu press, simply pat dry and the remaining excess water will evaporate while cooking.
When cooking the tofu, try to let the pieces brown before flipping/stirring.
Other spices to add includes cayenne pepper, taco seasoning, cajun spices, dried herbs, etc.
You can make the sandwiches ahead and wrap in foil for easy breakfast to grab-and-go. Stuff your sandwiches with produce that can hold on the wait (avoid tomatoes and avocado) such as lettuce, sprout, herbs, etc.
Other sandwich filling ideas: hot sauce, lettuce, sliced cucumber, pickles, chipotle mayo, pickled onion, sliced onion, balsamic drizzle, etc.
