Instructions
You will need a good quality blender for the best results.
- Add the tofu, nutritional yeast, your spices and just enough plant milk to make the blending easier. Scape the sides if needed, and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the chickpea flour, and baking powder and blend slowly, while adding just enough plant milk to create a liquid batter, similar to a pancake batter.
- Set aside for about 5 minutes. It will get thicker, you might have to balance it out with more plant milk.
- In a large non-stick skillet with a low lip, melt vegan butter to coat the pan.
- Add tofu batter to cover the bottom of the skillet, about a half inch thick. Take the heat down to medium and cover for 5-8 minutes until top seems dry and you can see bubbles completely cooked through.
- Gently loosen the bottom of the omelet and flip. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Add some of the toppings on one side of the omelet and carefully fold over. If using vegan cheese, cook for another minute or so until it melts.
- Garnish with your favourite Mexican produce and a dollop of vegan sour cream.
