Southwest Tofu Bowls

This 30 minute recipe is easy and delicious!  Southwest tofu bowls are the perfect meal to please vegetarians, vegans, and meat-eaters, alike.  It’s a great mix of protein, healthy carbs, and fiber filled veggies and beans.  You may not be a tofu fan (I know I wasn’t at first), but it’s all about what you put on it and mix it with!  It really absorbs the flavor of anything on it.

Ingredients (4 servings)

1 block of organic tofu, pressed and cubed
1 cup cooked black beans
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 small tomato, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, diced
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 Tbsp cilantro
2 tsp chilli lime powder
1 cup marinara/red sauce (watch the sodium and sugar!)

Directions

1. Add tofu and chilli lime powder to a bag or enclosed container and shake until tofu is coated.
2. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat (spray with evoo if needed).  Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
3. Add the tofu, peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes.  Cook for about 10-15 minutes until tofu is golden and peppers are seared.
4. Add the black beans brown rice, and marinara sauce and stir until evenly coated.  Cook for 2 additional minutes.
5. Enjoy!

This recipe makes 4 southwest tofu bowls.  Store it in an airtight container and enjoy for dinners for the week! I always get organic tofu to make sure there are NO GMOs in it (which are common if you do not get organic tofu).  I also have a similar southwest chicken bowl recipe I will post soon!
