Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Using the large side of a box grater, shred the block of tofu. Some large chunks will fall off so I take those and very gently push them through the grater. Place the tofu on the prepared baking sheet.
3
Drizzle the tofu with the oil, salt, and taco seasoning and toss to combine so it is evenly covered. Spread the tofu out into a thin layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tofu is crispy around the edges. Check around 25 minutes to make sure it isn’t burning. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to package directions.
5
Once cooled a bit, dice the tofu so it’s in shreds. You can also break it up into small pieces with your hands.
6
Assemble the bowls by dividing the tofu, rice, beans, and romaine into 2 large bowls. Top with desired taco toppings and ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Press Your Tofu Properly 🧊Use a tofu press or wrap in cheesecloth and place a cast iron skillet with weights on top for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness when pan-seared.
- Cube and Dry Before Seasoning 🔪Cut pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and pat them completely dry with paper towels before tossing with taco seasoning to prevent steaming and achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- High-Heat Searing Technique 🔥Use medium-high heat with enough olive oil to create a thin layer, allowing tofu cubes to develop a caramelized crust in 3-4 minutes per side without stirring constantly.
- Toast Your Rice Before Cooking 🍚Lightly toast uncooked rice in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding liquid to enhance its nutty flavor and improve texture, making it the perfect base for your bowls.
- Season Black Beans Separately 🫘Warm and season your canned black beans with a pinch of cumin, garlic, and lime juice in a separate pan rather than mixing with rice, allowing customizable flavor intensity for each component.
