When you add black pepper to a dish that contains turmeric, the antioxidants become much more available to your body! I cheered when you added the pepper, haha. As a bonus, those flavors are great together in a tofu scramble!

Love it! ❤ You know I’m your Vegan Girlie. 😊 Cacique also makes a Soy Chorizo. It’s the same size as their others but as you can tell that’s about half the size of the TJ’s (or Frieda’s brand). I find dabbing with a paper towel helps with the oiliness. One shortcut would be to use a Potatoes O’Brien version of frozen hash browns. All of your versions looked fantastic. If you can plan ahead freezing the tofu and then squeezing out the moisture after thawing will result in a more eggy texture that some people prefer. Also, if you have an extra $6 one month a great addition to your spice cabinet for transforming tofu into a scramble would be “egg salt”. If you can find Kala Namak (Black/Egg Salt) in a bulk spice shop you can get a tiny quantity to try. Your area seems to be quite diverse so a local shop will likely have it. 😅 Thank you so very much for doing these videos!

I love the veggie burritos. I’ve used beans and the “chorizo” from field and roast too. For hacks- I microwave potatoes almost all the way done then let cool enough to cut and finish cooking with oil in either the oven, toaster or airfryer to get them crispy. I do it before camping too- parcook them before putting in ice chest. Saves so much time. I also like to toss tofu chunks in oil, soy sauce and corn starch and veggies in oil and roast everything on a sheetpan and then divvy that onto to rice or asian noodles for a much easier alternative to standing over a stirfry.

[@lorensims4846]

The first breakfast burritos I ever had came from a Mexican restaurant in downtown Stockton, California. They were egg, potato, and chorizo, with queso cheese. This was the first time I had ever had chorizo and I liked it a lot. My wife and I would get these if we were going out of town for any reason and they would keep us well-fed through midday. I think they cost $3.50 each (and were huge!), but this was 1993. The ones you made look so good, I'm going to have to start making my own. As you say, you can easily adjust the recipe to your taste.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I just made another batch of 12 of these yesterday. They keep me full and satisfied until noon. You could make these with eggs too. I do love the shortcut of using the hash browns and packaged potato obrien would also work here.

You might see if you can find some chorizo seasoning that you like... add it to eggs with veggies. I personally get one from Savory Spice and then use a ground pork with a little water and white wine vinegar and let it marinade overnight.

Yum! Love soyrizo! Recently I made a bunch of tofu, potato & vegan chs burritos. They were so freaking good! Since I ate them at home, I put one in the fridge the night before to thaw and then air fried for 30 minutes. I wrapped them in foil before freezing knowing I was going to air fry them. I would unwrap them and then rewrap loosely so they’d brown up a bit. I love the outside to be crispy.

@@ArdentMichelle My tamales are simple. Just what ever beans you like, salsa, corn, soyrizo and spices like chili powder, cumin, s&p etc. masa is corn meal, crisco, hot beef broth and s&p to taste. Just mix till you can pick up a chunk and it’s not sticky. I use soaked corn husks spread a small handful of masa and a scoop of the bean mixture and fold over. That’s it! I got a pressure cooker at a thrift store for $14. It only takes 10-15 min to cook so you can make tamales on a weeknight (or cook a bunch and freeze in batches! ) it takes around an hour at most! They reheat wonderfully too!

Just check the masa that swells up. It must be soft but not liquid, it firms as it cools down, add anything you like in a taco or burrito into the tamales and they reheat beautifully just leave them in the wrapper!

I know there's the freezer burn situation if you don't double wrap it and get air out of the bag as much as you can. I think some sponge-like filling like rice will help absorb any greasiness/water that may leak through the tortilla from the inside (but I would like to keep carbs to a minimum).

I haven't had any of these be soggy at all. So far, I've only had them in the freezer for 2 weeks. I'm making another big batch today though that I plan to last for a month.

Isa Chandra Moskowitz suggested in her tofu scramble to begin with large chunks of tofu. During cooking, it will inevitably break down to a more realistic egg-like scramble.

I believe I could get on board with the soy chorizo. I can’t stomach the off parts in real chorizo!! Lymph nodes are not at the top of my favorites list😂😂.

[@ArdentMichelle]

😂 I totally get that! Also might be worth it to make your own!

[@BB-tg8yu]

I tried a chorizo from Kroger that was packaged just like ground pork but said it was pork chorizo… I hated it! I always liked those little skinny rolls from Walmart for breakfast burritos though.

[@ArdentMichelle]

You might like the European firm chorizos better. Great idea to use the little rolls for the burritos.

I eat tofu, but it's not my favorite. It's okay. But your breakfast burrito looks delicious! I definitely want to try it. On a different note, what is the music you play at the end of your videos? I love it! But I don't know the name of the song or who sings it. Can you tell me? Thanks!

[@ArdentMichelle]

It's I LEAN ON YOU by THE WILDFLOWERS featuring CHRISTINE SMIT. Glad you like it. 😁 I find I love tofu if I love the seasoning or the sauce it's in. 😂

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

Adding the turmeric makes the tofu look just like eggs!

[@ArdentMichelle]

it really does 👍

[@marynapoleone4748]

I like the soy chorizo better then those meat chorizos that cost $1.42 at Walmart. Those meat chorizos.are very fatty. The soy chorizo is better. My grocery store also sells Cantellas pork chorizo in 1 lb bricks that are excellent for about $6.99 a brick. This chorizo is excellent if you eat meat

[@ArdentMichelle]

thanks for sharing the info about the pork chorizo 😁

[@DeterminedDIYer]

I just hate chorizo. it's so salty and that's all i ever taste. I usually just make my own sausage. I have a grinding attachment for my kitchen-aid mixer. Plus i have hereditary high BP so it's better for me. great job on keeping your costs down and getting protein. i really should be better about eating breakfast lol.

[@ArdentMichelle]

love the idea of making the chorizo yourself! I'm a salt lover....so I have to watch myself constantly! 😂

[@MauraMarcus]

When you are not too busy, a burrito recipe would be helpful.

[@ArdentMichelle]

you mean besides this one?

[@MauraMarcus]

maybe I missed it, but I would like to have ingredient amounts and step by step instructions.

Класні рецепти. Дякую. Привіт з України. Якщо можливо чи не могли б ви добавити титри. Іноді я впізнаю не всі продукти. Удачі🎉

[@ArdentMichelle]

Щойно для вас додав субтитри українською. Дякую за перегляд мого відео!

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

I hope your new job is going well! I really need to do a better job both for my health and for my wallet with meal prep and thinking of how I can make a few things and have them in the fridge and my life will be easier. Thanks for some yummy and tasty ideas.. 🙂🥚🫔🌮❤🇨🇦

[@ArdentMichelle]

It's going great! Thanks for asking! Still in training though. I plan to do more of the meal prep in upcoming videos! I can only seem to fit about one meal into each weeks video now though 😞

[@BrowneyedGirlmjd]

@@ArdentMichelle That's perfect. Because that's all I want to cook on a weekend! I generally do one main meal and then one filler / snack. And that's about it. 🤣

[@ArdentMichelle]

@@BrowneyedGirlmjd love making life easier!

[@vinnydabarber]

Michelle, you are such a wondeful cook and so creative! Thanks for the tip to put wilted vegetables in cold water. It saved my celery! 😉💘

[@ArdentMichelle]

welcome 😁 Glad it was helpful.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I just got celery at Wholesome Choice this morning for .50. I'm about to put it in water too 😂

[@vinnydabarber]

@@ArdentMichelle Wow, awesome deal!!!

[@ArdentMichelle]

@@vinnydabarber I thought so. The level of excitement I felt when I saw the price was a little ridiculous! 😂

[@vinnydabarber]

@@ArdentMichelle lol, I can relate,

Real food is not always cheap. Cheap food is not (usually) not food. Balance is mercurial.

[@ArdentMichelle]

I find real food to be fairly cheap actually.

[@ArdentMichelle]

but then...I live in a food Mecca. Not everyone does.

[@garlicbreathandfarts]

Hi Michelle from Albania.
