Vegan + GF Fajita Tofu Scramble for One!

September 5, 2016 by Medha 42 Comments

Today’s the first day of classes and I already have a hectic schedule for the week.

From classes, rehearsals, meetings, and work shifts, the year is definitely starting off full force.


It’s times like this when I think about super easy meals that I would throw together for dinner.

Because seriously, who has time to be making handmade pasta or baking and frosting layer cakes every day at college?

(I mean of course I’m excluding culinary school…)

I love making single serving recipes because that’s the portion size that I most typically make for myself on a daily basis! Especially for work lunches or dorm dinners.

I have a ton of single serving recipes on this blog, from savory to sweet, partially because I love the idea, and partially out of necessity. In a household of three, when I’m baking and cooking all my recipes for the YEAR in one summer, there’s no way that we can consume 6-8 servings of pasta a night. And since I’m really anti-waste, I love making smaller portions.

Plus, hey, you can always just double or triple it!

This tofu scramble is an easy vegan breakfast or lunch. It combines jalapeno, bell peppers, red onions, and black beans- your classic fajita veggies, with tons of spices and some vegan cheese for good measure! Enjoy xx

    Tofu scramble looks amazing! what vegan cheese do you use? Is Daiya the only good one out there?

    I love that you create this yumminess in a dorm room…I mean, your roommates and hallmates must be incredibly jealous! Funny thing is we were just talking about making fajitas around here soon. Good luck with the start of the school year…it’s probably fun to be back into the swing of things! 🙂

      Haha thanks! AND ACTUALLY… I’m nowhere near as good a multitasker as it would take to cook in my dorm. I make all my recipes when I’m at home on break!

    Oh I totally know these quick meal thrown together days. Those days were if you don’t do that, you end up standing with a slice of toast in one hand smothered in PB and forced to call it a meal. These scramble is seriously such a great idea!! I haven’t had tofu in months (HOW DID THAT EVEN HAPPEN) so I need to get some to try this!

    I know, I grew up in a house with 3 boys where cooking massive servings was the norm – and now in a little apartment with 3 girls, not always cooking together, single serve meals feature much more heavily! Last night was a single serve strawberry and rhubarb crumble – thank goodness for mini ramekins!! Love the sound of this scramble – I’ve only every done scrambled eggs but will have to try tofu sometime. Hope you are having a good week at uni!

    AMEN to one serving wonders! I also hate making a giant portion of dinner because I usually end up wasting the leftovers! This tofu scramble looks amazing and really easy to make! Perfect for a busy college student 😉

    Personally, I don’t like making single serving recipes because I always want seconds, and I LOVE leftovers. But I think I will take your advice and quadruple this recipe. It looks amazing!
