These Chipotle Tofu Burrito Bowls have everything you could want in an easy weeknight dinner. The tofu is tossed in a homemade chipotle sauce before being baked until crispy. It is layered over rice with black beans, green onion & red onion before being drizzled with the BEST cilantro yogurt sauce. This is perfect for an easy dinner or meal prepped lunch!
Step One: Make the Chipotle Tofu
For the tofu sauce, you will need:
- chipotle pepper in adobo
- adobo sauce
- oil
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- cumin
- salt
- pepper
- lime
Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl – you can thin it down with water if needed. Cube a block of tofu, add it to a bowl with the sauce and toss to combine. Transfer the tofu to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes – you want the tofu to have a nice char on it.
Step Two: Get Saucy
While the tofu is baking, it is time to make the cilantro yogurt sauce. And let me tell you…you’ll want to put this stuff on everything! It has the perfect amount of spice, tang and creaminess.
Here is what you need:
Add everything to a food processor and blend until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. This sauce is bright, fresh and gives these bowls the perfect kick!
Step Three: Assemble
And now it is time to assemble. Layer each bowl with rice and top it with crispy tofu, drained black beans, thinly sliced red onion, avocado and green onion.
Drizzle over some of that delicious green sauce and have plenty of lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.
Whether you make these burrito bowls for lunch or dinner, they are sure to be a hit!
