Vegan Power Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked brown rice (see Notes)
  • 1/2 cup seasoned black beans (see Notes)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 cup tofu, in small cubes or strips
  • 2 tsp light olive or canola oil (see Notes)
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup vegan sour cream

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tsp oil in a nonstick pan and fry the tofu until it's golden brown, turning frequently.
  2. Layer the rice and beans in your bowl.

  3. Arrange tofu slices , avocado slices and diced tomato on top of the beans.

  4. Top with olives, salsa and sour cream.

Recipe Notes

Season your rice to your taste. I cooked mine in a little veggie broth with 1/2 t. of onion powder. I added 1/2 t. cumin and a tablespoon of salsa to the beans along with 1/4 ea. garlic and onion powder. You can season both to your own taste.

If you're avoiding oils, cook the tofu slices in your air fryer until golden.

You can vary your ingredients as you choose - try an Asian bowl with rice noodles or white rice layered with Asian cucumber salad, sprouts or greens, tofu cubes, edamame, sesame seeds and crunchy noodles. Or try a Southern bowl with blackeyed peas and rice with fried okra and greens - the possibilities are endless!
