Chipotle Agave Tofu Bowls
These Chipotle Agave Tofu Bowls have marinated & baked tofu, steamed rice and a avocado jalapeño salsa. The perfect vegan dinner!
I have been on a bowl kick lately. They make such easy dinners and the leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day! The tofu is marinated in a chipotle agave sauce before being baked until crispy. The avocado jalapeño salsa has the perfect amount of sweetness, spice and tang. And the chipotle mayo is just delicious. These tofu bowls are ready in less than an hour!
How to Make Chipotle Agave Tofu
The marinade for the tofu is super simple and takes just a minute to make. Combine oil, chopped chipotles, agave and soy sauce in a bowl.
Drain, press and cube a block of extra firm tofu. Add it to a large bowl and pour the marinade over the cubes. Toss to coat evenly and then transfer the tofu to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the tofu for 20 minutes. Flip it and cook it for another 5-10 minutes. The tofu should have some nice charred bits on the edges when it is done.
How to Make the Avocado Jalapeño Salsa
This salsa is something I could eat everyday! Large chunks of avocado are tossed with oil, agave, lime juice, cumin, salt, pepper, cilantro, corn and vegan feta.
The mix of creamy avocado, crunchy corn, spicy jalapeño and tangy vegan feta is to die for. The agave gives it a little bit of sweetness. This salsa adds the perfect balance to the chipotle tofu and is a must for these bowls!
How to Assemble
Now, it is time to bring the bowls together. Add some cooked rice to each bowl. Top the rice with the crispy tofu and spoon the avocado jalapeño salsa over everything.
I also added a side of chipotle mayo (see the recipe notes), because you can never have enough sauce.
Top it all off with some more cilantro and add some lime wedges to the side. These are best served right away, but the tofu can be reheated for lunches the next day!
