Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

Step 6

Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and slightly charred.

Step 7

In a medium pot, warm the black beans over medium heat. Stir occasionally for about 5 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

To assemble the chipotle bowl: begin with a base of brown rice in each serving bowl.

Step 9

Layer with black beans, sautéed vegetables, and crispy tofu.
