Ingredients

Scale

Tofu Mixture

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin

Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels

Toppings and Garnishes

  • Salsa, to taste
  • Guacamole, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu and season with chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden and slightly crispy, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start by placing 2 cups of cooked rice as the base. Layer the cooked tofu on top, followed by black beans and corn kernels.
  3. Add Toppings and Garnish: Spoon salsa and guacamole over the assembled bowl. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add cooked chicken or beef if not vegetarian.
  • To make this dish vegan, ensure guacamole and salsa are free of dairy.
  • Use brown rice for a whole grain option with more fiber.
  • Adjust spices according to your heat preference, adding more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
  • Leftover tofu can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
