DIRECTIONS

Tofu:

1. Drain tofu and wrap in a clean towel or paper towel and set something heavy on top, like a cast iron skillet. Press for about 20 minutes to release excess moisture.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using your hands, crumble the tofu directly into the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, stirring often.

3. Add in soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and stir well. Continue cooking for 4-6 minutes, stirring often, until tofu is lightly browned and crispy.

 

Avocado Cashew Crema:

1. Soak cashews in room temperature water for 2-3 hours, then drain and rinse.   

2. Add cashews to a high-speed blender with avocado, cilantro, lime juice, salt and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

 

Corn Salsa:

1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

1. Serve burrito bowls with cooked rice, tofu ground “beef”, corn salsa, avocado crema, pickled onions (optional) and hot sauce.
