These burrito bowls are healthier and more flavorful than takeout. Make them early in the week for grab-and-go meals when days are busy. We use frozen cauliflower rice, a low-carb substitute for white or brown rice, to cut down on prep time.
Prep/Cook Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce package extra firm tofu, drained, crumbled and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1 teaspoon, divided
- 1 12-ounce package frozen riced cauliflower
- 1 teaspoon no-salt-added taco seasoning
- 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1 cup diced avocado
- ½ cup pico de gallo or salsa
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Combine tofu, tamari, garlic powder and paprika in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tofu is nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the tofu mixture cooks, prepare riced cauliflower according to package directions. Toss with remaining 4 teaspoons oil and taco seasoning.
- Divide the cauliflower among 4 bowls. Top each with 1/2 cup tofu mixture, 1/4 cup each cabbage and avocado, 2 tablespoons pico de gallo (or salsa) and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
