INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (93g)
1/2 cup black beans (130g)
8 oz extra firm tofu (227g)
1/4 medium avocado (50g)
1 tsp olive oil (4.5g)
2 tbsp lime juice (30g)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro (4g)
1 garlic clove (3g)
1 tsp cumin (2.3g)
1 tsp chili powder (2.5g)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Press the tofu for 10-15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the tofu until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the lime cilantro sauce by combining lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, and a small splash of water in a small bowl.
Assemble the bowl by placing the cooked quinoa as the base, and topping it with sautéed tofu and black beans.
Drizzle the lime cilantro sauce over the bowl and garnish with diced avocado.
Serve warm and enjoy the vibrant, spicy, and refreshing flavors.
