Vegan Burrito Bowls with Crispy Tofu & Chipotle Sauce - These yummy vegan burrito bowls are made with crispy baked tofu, corn & black bean salsa, and a dairy-free chipotle sauce. #veganrecipe #plantbasedrecipe #burritobowl #recipe

YUM! These vegan burrito bowls are delicious, and the perfect combination of some recipes I’ve shared previously on the blog. Take my crispy baked tofu and corn and black bean salsa; mix them in a bowl with rice, lettuce and avocado; and top with my dairy-free chipotle sauce. Yes, please!

Vegan Burrito Bowls

This vegan burrito bowls recipe is an amalgamation of other recipes I’ve posted. I’m going to link to them but also list out ingredients and directions so that you don’t need to have multiple tabs open.

Admittedly, there’s a lot to this one. I recommend making the chipotle sauce and salsa ahead of time (the salsa is even better the next day anyway!). I’ll even cook a bunch of rice at the start of the week so I have that on hand as well. Then, all you really need to do is bake the tofu and assemble your bowl when you’re ready to eat.

Note that the following recipe will make FOUR vegan burrito bowls. Leftovers of everything except the tofu will be great the next day and all week.

If you’re looking for a Taco Tuesday recipe or perhaps a Meatless Monday dish, look no further! You’re also allowed to make this on days without an alliterative theme. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have a bean salsa recipe already on the blog that is absolutely delicious, but comes with a rather long ingredient list. (Don’t judge the quality of the blog post if you check it outโ€”it’s so old!) Today’s black bean and corn salsa recipe is a simplified version of that. Under 10 ingredients, just dice, chop, mix and enjoy. Even the most novice of home chefs will find success with this one. ๐Ÿ™‚

If you’re making this black bean and corn salsa for a large party or event, I’d double the ingredients as they’re listed. The portions below are perfect for me and Joe to store in the refrigerator and eat through the weekend. But if you’re entertaining, double it up!

You can get creative with customizing this recipe. If the majority of it is going to be consumed the day it’s made, I’ll add in some avocado. Chopped bell pepper is another good add-in. Serve with chips or as part of a build-your-own taco bar (now I’m party planning for the summer in my head).

Spicy Baked Tofu – Crispy!

Spicy Baked Tofu โ€” Crispy! This easy spicy baked tofu is perfect for plant-based burrito bowls or other similar dishes. #vegan #veganrecipe #tofurecipe #tofu #plantbased

This spicy baked tofu recipe is easy to make and pairs so well with my dairy-free chipotle sauce. Add it to a burrito bowl or buddha bowl for a filling, delicious plant-based meal. Ingredients are fairly minimal. You need extra-firm tofu, olive oil, spices and corn starch. The corn starch is going to give your tofu that perfect crispy outer layer.

Spicy Baked Tofu

It’s really important that you use extra firm tofu for this recipe. This way the squares will hold up and you’ll get that crispy outer layer. I’m starting to see pre-pressed tofu in grocery stores (it comes in more of a shrink wrap package vs. a hard square container), which is the firmest tofu I’ve found. For this recipe, however, I’m using regular extra firm tofu from Nasyoa and it works just fine.

If you don’t have the exact spices called for on hand, any taco seasoning mix will work. I’ve also added a tbsp of hot sauce to the recipe with good results. And while the texture isn’t as good, I have made this without the cornstarch when I haven’t had any in my kitchen, and it still works. You don’t get that even outer crunch like with the cornstarch, but it will suffice in a pinch!

Joe can’t stand when I cook tofu on the stovetop (the oil splatter, the smell, etc.), so baking is my go-to when he’s home! How he feels about tofu cooking is how I feel about him cooking scrambled eggs. ๐Ÿ˜‰
