  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin

For the Tofu Scramble

  • 1 350-400 g block firm or extra-firm tofu patted dry
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp black salt kala namak, plus more to taste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
  • 2 tsp olive oil or other cooking oil

For the Salsa

  • 1-2 tomatoes diced (1 ½ cups, 245 g)
  • 1/2 a white onion finely diced (¾ cup, 90 g)
  • 1 small jalapeno finely diced, remove seeds for less heat
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • salt to taste

For the Chipotle Tahini Sauce (Optional)

  • 3 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 3-4 tbsp water to thin sauce
  • 1 tsp chipotle in adobo sauce
  • Salt

For the Burrito Bowls

  • 1 19 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado diced
  • hot sauce
  • cilantro
  • lime

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat Oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roast Sweet Potatoes:  To the baking sheet, add cubed sweet potatoes, oil, smoked paprika and cumin. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast for 20-25 min, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden. 
  • Mix Tofu Sauce:  Meanwhile, to a medium bowl, add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black salt, turmeric, tahini and oat milk. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • Cook Tofu Scramble: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, crumble the tofu with your hands into bite sized pieces. When the pan is hot, add crumbled tofu. Cook for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown all over.  
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add sauce to the pan. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tofu absorbs sauce, but it’s still creamy in texture. Season with more black salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make Salsa: While the tofu scramble is cooking, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro in a medium bowl and stir to combine.  Season with salt, then stir to combine.
  • Serve: Divide roasted sweet potatoes and tofu scramble between bowls.  Top with salsa, black beans and sliced avocado. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if desired. Squeeze over a lime wedge, to taste.  Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired.
