Breakfast Tacos ala Naked

I am a fan of Flore Vegan, a vegan restaurant in Silverlake, California. Me and the Mrs. go there almost every weekend for breakfast of brunch.  This weekend we decided to stay at home for breakfast and create something close to Flore's. So this dish is in inspired by Flore Vegan's breakfast burrito.


BREAKFAST TACO'S ALA NAKED
*inspired by Flore Vegan


1 cup kale, chopped
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup mushroom, diced
1/2 of cornOne box extra soft tofu from Trader Joes, diced
1/2 bag of Trader Joe's spices spiced soybeans
2-4 Corn tortillas
Nutiva Coconut oil
Lettuce, chopped
5-8 Baby tomatoes


Salt and Pepper to taste
Tapatio


-First, in a pan add some coconut oil on medium heat. Throw in the kale, onion, mushroom, corn, tofu and spiced soybeans with a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
-While that's cooking, go to the tortillas and in a separate pan on low heat, place the tortilla's in the pan. This is so that we can get them super soft. You need to flip them once. 
-Head back to the pan and really get the tofu nice and scrambled. 
-Now plate the tortilla's and add the scramble on the tortilla's.
-Sprinkle some chopped lettuce and tomatoes on top and your done! 






Muy Bueno!

Flore Vegan Club

Wow, it seems lately I've been in a vegan mood. I go through spurts you know. Sometimes I eat vegan, sometimes I eat meat, and sometimes I eat nothing. Which makes me really hungry and go nuts!

Today, was a day off with my wifey. We went to this place in Silverlake called Flore. Flore is an all vegan restaurant. We usually get the Vegan Tofu Benedict, which in my opinion is the best vegan benedict in all of Los Angeles. But, that's another story.

Today, we'll be talking about the Tofu Vegan Club sandwich.  First off, this thing is massive. We have lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, tempeh, baked tofu and 6 grain bread with a side of potato salad. Now, the thing that stands out the most for me with this sandwich is the tofu, its heavenly.  I was curious how they made so I decided to go ask. Apparently, its a secret.  But, they did tell me they baked the tofu.

So, Flore one of these days I'm going to get your secret recipe and share it around the world! But in the meantime, I will just have to eat at your restaurant and try to figure out the seasonings of the baked tofu.

Here's a pic:
