"Have you heard of the Mexicana Vegana (Mexican Vegan) food trend that’s been growing in popularity? I’m a huge fan! It combines bold, fresh Mexican flavors with delicious meatless dishes to create recipes like my Tofu Burrito Bowls. I top my bowls with Mori-Nu Silken Tofu that I simmer with smoky chipotles in adobo, cumin, garlic and cilantro to infuse it with plenty of rich flavor. @morinutofu is a great alternative to meat, eggs and dairy. I love the boost of plant-based protein that it brings to these vegan burrito bowls! Ready to jump on the #MexicanaVegana trend? #morinu_partner #morinutofu #shelfstable #vegan #vegetarian
Here’s the recipe:
Tofu Burrito Bowls (makes 2 servings): Ingredients:
1 package (12.3 oz) Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Lite Firm
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can
¾ teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup water
½ cup black beans, drained
2 tablespoons cilantro
½ cup brown rice or quinoa
Toppings: avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, vegan Mexican cheese, lime wedges
Directions:
Cut the tofu into 6 slices and press down on them with paper towels to absorb any water. Heat the oil in a pan over medium high heat and add the tofu. Cook a few minutes on each side until golden, and then break the tofu into small pieces with a spatula. Stir in the garlic, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, cumin, tomato paste, salt, and water and simmer 5 minutes until thickened. Stir in the black beans and cilantro.
To assemble the bowls, arrange ½ cup brown rice or quinoa in each bowl and top with the tofu mixture. Add desired toppings such as avocado, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, and lime wedges.
