These Spicy Sofritas Black Bean Bowls are healthy, simple and super delicious. Perfect for meal prepping or busy weeknights!
I have been making this recipe for-EVER. Like, before I was even vegan. It has always been a hit in my house and just so happened to be meat and dairy free. So of course, I had to share this recipe with you here on TSV. I honestly don’t know why it has taken me so long to get this recipe up, but I’m glad the day has finally come.
Now, you all know I love a good bowl. I’ve shared lots of my favorites with you – Vegan BBQ Bowls, Rainbow Buddha Bowls, Greek Buddha Bowls.
Bowls on bowls on bowls.
I can’t get enough.
What’s not to love? You get to throw a bunch of tasty things into a bowl, mix it up and devour (or at least that’s what I do). And this bowl is no different.
A combination of chipotle peppers in adobo, salsa, onion and garlic are blended up to make this yummy sauce. It is then mixed in with crumbled tofu and black beans. Serve it up with some rice (or quinoa) and fresh avocado and you have the perfect meal.
Enjoy!

Instructions

Add chipotles, jalapeno, garlic, salsa, red onion and lime to a blender or food processor. Combine until smooth (adding water if needed). Taste and add salt if needed.* Set aside until ready to use.
