Servings: 2 large servings
Ingredients
- 1 block of firm or extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup of uncooked rice of choice
- 1 head of romaine lettuce chopped
- 1/2- ¾ cups canned black beans drained and rinsed
- optional of serving: pico de gallo chopped tomatoes, avocado/ guacamole,
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using the large side of a box grater, shred the block of tofu. Some large chunks will fall off so I take those and very gently push them through the grater. Place the tofu on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the tofu with the oil, salt, and taco seasoning and toss to combine so it is evenly covered. Spread the tofu out into a thin layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tofu is crispy around the edges. Check around 25 minutes to make sure it isn't burning. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
- Once cooled a bit, dice the tofu so it’s in shreds. You can also break it up into small pieces with your hands.
- Assemble the bowls by dividing the tofu, rice, beans, and romaine into 2 large bowls. Top with desired taco toppings and ENJOY!
