Vegan Tofu Scramble Burrito

1 Pkg. Super-Firm Tofu (20 oz.) crumbled. If you can't find Super-Firm then use Extra-Firm
1 Pkg. Light Life Smart Links
1 small red onion diced or 1/2 large Red Onion
3 T. Canola Oil
1 T. Yellow Mustard Seeds
1 T. turmeric
salt to taste, about 1-2 tsp.
about 1 cup of roasted Potatoes

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet, or whatever skillet you have ;)
Add the Breakfast links and roll in the oil to coat all sides. Cook for about 5 minutes and remove from the oil.
Add the mustard seeds.
When the mustard seeds start to pop add the onion.
Cook the onion until translucent; about 3-5 minutes.
Add the turmeric and cook for 1 minute.
Add the crumbled tofu, stir to coat with the turmeric.
Cut up the Smart Links into bite sized pieces, add them to the tofu mixture.
Add the roasted potatoes.
Stir all this together and let cook for 2 minutes or so, just to get everything mixed and hot.
I steam some tortillas and add a touch of Tapatio hot sauce and green tomatillo salsa, roll up and eat!

For the Potatoes:
About 6 small red potatoes or 3 large ones small or medium dice
1 T. canola oil
1 tsp. Turmeric
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. salt or perhaps a 1/2 & 1/2 mixture of salt and Garlic salt
-Mix all this together and cook at 350 degree oven until done (about 30-45 minutes).

I make a big batch of these and use them for bean and rice burritos and tofu scramble burritos. Just warm them up before adding them to your scramble or burrito assemblage.
