This baked tofu burrito bowl is a hearty, protein-packed meal that’s bursting with color and flavor. It features crispy seasoned tofu, fluffy rice, beans, and fresh toppings like avocado, salsa, and corn—all layered into a satisfying and wholesome bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1 block firm or extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup black beans or pinto beans
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes or salsa
  • 1 avocado or ½ cup guacamole
  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
  3. Toss the tofu with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the tofu on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  5. While the tofu bakes, prepare the rice, beans, and toppings.
  6. Assemble bowls with a base of rice, followed by beans, corn, tomatoes or salsa, avocado, and the baked tofu.
  7. Squeeze fresh lime over the top and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Swap tofu for roasted sweet potatoes or tempeh.
  • Use different grains like quinoa or farro.
  • Add chipotle in adobo for a smoky twist.
  • Pre-cooked rice and canned beans speed up prep.
  • Store components separately for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat rice, beans, and tofu before assembling; add fresh toppings last.
