How to Make Vegan Breakfast Taquitos:

1. Prepare the Scramble: Crumble your tofu into a bowl. Add the scramble seasoning and vegan cream cheese. Mix well until everything is nicely combined. Taste and adjust with more seasoning if needed.

2. Assemble the Taquitos: In a skillet over medium-low heat, warm the tortillas until soft. Place a generous amount of the tofu mixture in the center of each tortilla, fold tightly, and roll into a taquito.

3. Cooking Options:

   • Bake: Place seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
   • Pan Fry: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the taquitos seam-side down and cook until crispy and golden, flipping every 20 seconds.
4. Serve: Enjoy your taquitos with salsa, pico de gallo, or a creamy hot sauce drizzle.
