Meatless Monday: Baked Tofu Burrito Bowls

Pin It

It's Meatless Monday again! Tonight I made baked tofu burrito bowls. For those of you who are not cooks, this is such a quick and simple meal. It is mostly assembly and works out perfectly for me tonight, as I do not have much time to cook or blog. Sophie is having a very needy/fussy evening. Enjoy! :)

Baked Tofu Burrito Bowls
8 ounces firm tofu diced into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)
1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/4 diced fresh tomato
1/2 sliced avocado
2 tbsp fat free sour cream
2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine tofu, salt, oregano, cumin, coriander, black pepper, smoked paprika and olive oil. Gently mix until the spices cover the tofu. Lay out on a baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, flip tofu and bake another 10 minutes.

To assemble the burrito bowls (use the following for each bowl) . Start with 1 cup romaine lettuce. Add 1/2 cup black beans, 4 ounces of baked tofu, 2 tbsp reduced fat cheddar cheese, 1/4 of the sliced avocado, 2 tbsp diced tomato, 1 tbsp fat free sour cream, 1 tbsp chopped cilantro.

Yields 2 Servings. Approx 386.5 calories and 20 grams of fat (a good portion of the fat is from the avocado... this is a healthy fat)

If you have higher caloric needs add 1/2 cup of brown rice. This adds 170 calories and 1.5 grams of fat

Other topping suggestions: Green onion, salsa, hot sauce, mango
