Ingredients

Scale

Tofu Mixture

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

Base and Vegetables

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

Garnishes

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled tofu along with 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and heated through, about 7-10 minutes.
  2. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer 2 cups of cooked rice as the base. Top the rice with the cooked tofu, 1 cup black beans, and 1 cup corn kernels.
  3. Add Toppings: Spoon salsa and guacamole over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top for added flavor and freshness. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the tofu with the spices for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Use brown rice or cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or shredded cheese if desired.
  • To keep it vegan, ensure guacamole and salsa are free of dairy or animal products.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
