For the Wraps
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (or gluten-free)

Instructions
- Make the Scramble Seasoning: Add all seasoning ingredients to a small bowl or jar. Mix well and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
- Prep the Tofu: Wrap tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press for 15–30 minutes. Crumble into small pieces using your hands, a fork, or a potato masher.
- Make the Scramble Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, mustard, vegetable broth, and 1½ Tbsp scramble seasoning. Set aside.
- Cook the Veggies: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp vegetable broth and sauté veggies until softened and lightly golden.
- Cook the Tofu: Add crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring gently.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Cook for 3–5 minutes until creamy and fluffy. Adjust seasoning as needed. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay tortillas flat, divide scramble evenly, fold sides inward, and roll tightly burrito-style.
Notes
- Avoid watery veggies (like fresh tomatoes) if freezing.
- Let wraps cool completely before freezing to avoid sogginess.
- Store wraps refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Wrap each one tightly in parchment or foil, then store in a freezer-safe bag.
- Reheat in the microwave (2–3 min), skillet, or air fryer (350°F / 175°C, 8–10 min).
- Add sauces after reheating for best results.
