Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice (or quinoa, white rice, etc.)
  • 14 oz. block extra-firm tofu
  • 3 Tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 15 oz. can black beans
  • 1 large avocado (or guacamole)
  • 1 cup salsa (I like Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa)
  • 8 large tortillas (gluten-free if desired)
  • Other toppings: vegan cheese, hot sauce, fresh cilantro, sweet corn, tomatoes, vegan sour cream, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse and cook your rice according to package instructions.* (Or prepare this in advance.)
  2. Meanwhile, press excess moisture from tofu (either with a tofu press or between paper towels). Then crumble tofu in a medium bowl. Add taco seasoning and lime juice. Stir well to combine.
  3. In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add tofu mixture. Sauté 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned. Then add black beans (rinsed and drained). Stir and heat for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, slice avocado and prepare desired toppings.
  5. Assemble burritos: Spoon cooked rice, tofu/black bean mixture, salsa, avocado, and any other toppings of choice down the center of a tortilla. (I warm my tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before filling for better pliability.) Tuck ends in, and tightly roll up.
  6. Crispy burrito option: Place finished burritos on a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Let heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crispy.

Notes

  • *To cook rice: In a small saucepan, I combine 1 cup rice with 1 3/4 cup water. Then bring to a light boil, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for 35-40 minutes.
  • For gluten-free + oil-free: Use your favorite GF/oil-free tortillas. Or omit the tortillas and make a rice bowl or baked potato bowl instead.
  • Toppings: Don't forget to add your favorite toppings for flavor and texture!
