Tofu Quinoa Burrito Bowls are hearty, nutritious, and flavor-packed plant-based meals with seasoned crispy tofu, fresh vegetables, protein-rich quinoa and beans, and a zesty lime dressing.

Ingredients

  • For the tofu:
  • 1 block extra-firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • For the bowl:
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 2 cups romaine or mixed greens
  • Fresh cilantro, optional for garnish
  • For the lime dressing:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or agave
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes, then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a bowl, toss tofu with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread tofu cubes on the baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. Cook quinoa according to package instructions and let cool slightly.
  6. Prepare the lime dressing by whisking together olive oil, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and salt.
  7. Wash and prep toppings: halve cherry tomatoes, slice red onion, cube avocado, and rinse greens.
  8. Assemble bowls starting with quinoa and greens, then layer tofu, beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, and avocado.
  9. Drizzle with lime dressing and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
  10. Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use tamari for gluten-free dressing.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra spice.
  • Air fry tofu at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes for crispier texture.
  • Slice avocado fresh to prevent browning.
  • Roasted veggies like sweet potatoes or peppers make great additions.
