Ingredients

Crispy Tofu

1 14 oz package extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
⅓ cup corn starch

Fajita Veggies

1 medium red pepper
1 medium orange pepper
1 medium yellow onion
½ tbsp olive oil
1 tsp oregano
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Cilantro Lime Rice

1 cup uncooked white rice**
2 cups water
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeeze
1 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, minced

Bowl Ingredients

1 can corn, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
1-2 bunches romaine lettuce, shredded
1 large avocado, sliced

Avocado Cilantro Lime Sauce

½ medium avocado
¼ cup plain dairy-free greek yogurt
¼ cup fresh cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic
½ tsp salt
2-4 tbsp water

Instructions

Start by making the rice. Add the rice to a large pot of water along with a pinch of salt and minced garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let cook for 17-25 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
Next, press the tofu to remove any excess water. Cut tofu into 1 inch cubes, toss with olive oil and corn starch and combine until evenly coated.
Preheat air fryer to 390F and add tofu to your air fryer basket. Set a timer for 15-20 minutes, shaking every 5 minutes. If baking, see instructions below.
Next, chop the peppers and onions in strips. To a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, add the olive oil, peppers, and onions. Toss with salt, pepper and oregano. Mix with a spatula and let sauté for 8-10 minutes, until tender.
Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.
Once the rice, tofu, and veggies are ready prepare the bowls.
Add the lettuce, corn, black beans, rice, tofu, veggies, and tomatoes to a large bowl. Top with the sliced avocado and cilantro lime dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

**If making rice that isn't standard white rice, follow the directions on your package as opposed to those in the recipe card.

Baking tofu instructions: Preheat oven to 425F. Spread evenly on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping the tofu with a pair of tongs halfway.
