Note

Additional Notes

Don’t skip pressing the tofu—it removes excess water for better texture.
For best results, use firm tofu. Silken won’t hold its shape.

Substitutions & Storage:

Swaps:

Use wholewheat or gluten-free wraps instead of spelt.
Add hummus or vegan mayo for creaminess.
Sub kale or lettuce if you’re out of spinach.

Storage:

Wraps can be prepped and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Tofu scramble keeps well separately in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Extra Crunch: Add shredded carrots or red cabbage.
Cheesy Vibes: Stir in vegan cheese or more nutritional yeast.
Bulk it Up: Toss in leftover roasted potatoes or black beans.

This recipe is a great base—customise it with what’s in your fridge. The tofu absorbs flavours well, so you can spice it however you like.
