Tofu Scramble and Black Bean Breakfast Burrito

This easy Tofu Scramble and Black Bean Breakfast Burrito can be made in no time. It is perfect for breakfast on the go!

Normally my breakfast consists of a smoothie with Vega One, spinach, bananas, and water. Occasionally I will have a Tofu Scramble. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner I decided to make a Mexican inspired Tofu Scramble and Black Bean Breakfast Burrito. The tofu scramble tastes even better in a tortilla, and makes a great meal on the go. To me, this scramble is not very spicy. If you want more spice, you could add more serrano pepper. If you want less spice, you could use jalapeño, or omit the pepper altogether.
