Tofu Breakfast Tacos with Orange Slaw

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals of the day and I’m always excited to prepare new and healthy alternatives.

My take on healthy tacos for breakfast include pan fried chipotle spiced tofu with the most amazing orange cabbage slaw.  These are delicious and easy to whip up for a weekday breakfast and a real crowd-pleaser for those big weekend brunches.

I have partnered with Tropicana Canada for this recipe using Tropicana Pure Premium® Orange Juice. I made the orange cabbage slaw with Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice.  It’s the perfect alternative to limes as it gives the tacos the sweetness that matches the spicy tofu perfectly.  It’s a match made in culinary heaven!

Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice is always on my table for breakfast.  With no artificial sweeteners,  flavours or preservatives, I feel comfort in knowing that I am getting my additional vitamins (Vitamin C, Potassium and Folic Acid).  It is also becoming a favourite recipe add-in for me as it’s so versatile and I use it to bake and cook, too.

I hope you’ll try them out and if you do, please share them with me using my hashtag #hautesucre, I would love to see them. Make these for your next brunch, they’re sure to become your new favourite, get the recipe below.
