Enchilada Power Bowls with Spicy Tofu

Steps

1. 1

   Add the lentils, brown rice, and water to a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the tofu and enchilada sauce.

2. 2

   Drain and rinse the black beans and add them to the rice and lentils. Set aside and cover to keep warm.

3. 3

   Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients together until combined.

4. 4

   Drain the tofu very well. Line a plate with a paper towel, place the tofu on top, add another layer of paper towel, and place something heavy on top. Press the tofu for 5-10 minutes. Cut it into cubes and add it to the sauce. Stir to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until the tofu is light brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. 6

   Heat two teaspoons of oil in a saucepan, add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft and golden brown. Add the chopped garlic and cook for another 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the tomato sauce, spices, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, and salt to the saucepan and whisk until combined. Cook for another 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Add the rice, lentils, and black beans to the enchilada sauce and mix until everything is well coated with the sauce. Taste and adjust saltiness if needed.

9. 9

   Divide the enchilada rice and beans between 4 serving bowls, top with half of an avocado (sliced or cubed), and sautéed tofu. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!
