These burrito bowls are made with spicy tofu, beans, rice and vegetables. This is not a recipe with a few ingredients, however with a little planning, you can have these bowls on the table in no time! Most of the time spent preparing this dish is chopping vegetables and cooking the rice which can be done a day or two before when you are prepping another meal.
Save some money and skip the chain restaurants – make your own burrito bowls. They are lower in calories, much healthier and you can choose the ingredients.
In this recipe, I prepared the tofu similar to sofritas that is served at Chipolte restaurants. Sofritas which comes from the Spanish word sofrito means gently fried. Sofrito is used in Latin American cooking as a base for stews, soups and rice and beans. It’s an aromatic combination of peppers, onions, tomatoes and spices.
My version of sofritas has enough liquid in it to allow the rice to soak it up. Once the sofritas are cooked, pile the rest of the ingredients ingredients into a bowl and enjoy all of the fresh and spicy flavors as they join together in your mouth.
Tofu, the main ingredient in sofritas is made from soy which is one of the most genetically modified foods. When you buy tofu, be sure to purchase Organic Tofu that is labeled Non-GMO verified such as Nasoya.
