SUBSTITUTIONS OR ADDITIONS

Make it gluten-free by using Tamari in place of Soy Sauce.

Some Soy Sauce has additives derived from fish or other animal proteins. If you want to make sure you are making vegan burrito bowls check the ingredients of your Soy Sauce.

Pro Tip: Keep your guacamole bright green longer by adding lime juice and keeping the pit of your avocado in the bowl while storing.

HOW TO MAKE Sofritas Bowl

1. In a large skillet heat oil and saute the onion and cook until semi-translucent, 3-4 minutes. 
2. Place a heavy plate on top tofu to press the water out of the tofu.
3. Crumble the tofu into the pan over medium high heat, then use a spatula to continue to break it apart while cooking for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned. 
4. Add the soy sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Stir into the tofu and coat completely.
5. Continue to cook and break the tofu apart until browned and crumbly. 
6. Assemble the layers of your burrito bowl starting with brown rice then lettuce, black beans, Tofu Sofritas, corn, salsa and/or chopped tomatoes, and guacamole.
7. Garnish with chopped cilantro on top.

Serving and Storage

You can prepare one large burrito bowl and serve it family style, or, let your family build their own bowl, just like at Chipotle!

If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
