For the sweet potato
1
|
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2
|
On a large baking tray, toss the sweet potato with the olive oil, salt + pepper, and taco seasoning. Spread in an even layer and roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway, until fork-tender.
For the tofu “meat”
1
|
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.
2
|
In a large skillet, heat ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add in the shredded tofu and cook, stirring every couple of minutes, for about 10 minutes or until the tofu turns a golden brown color and most of the moisture has cooked out.
3
|
Meanwhile, make the sauce by whisking together ½ tablespoon of olive oil, taco seasoning, salsa, bouillon, soy sauce, water, and tomato paste. Once the tofu has turned golden, add the sauce, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes.
For the street corn
1
|
Make the sauce by stirring together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, salt, lime zest and juice, and chili powder.
2
|
In a large bowl, combine the corn, bell pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, cotija cheese, and cream sauce. Toss to combine so that all of the corn is covered in the sauce.
Assemble
1
|
Assemble the bowls by dividing the tofu “beef”, sweet potato, street corn salad, avocado, and cilantro evenly among 2 bowls. Garnish with cilantro and ENJOY!
Notes
1
|
Corn – you can also use 2 ears of cooked corn or 15oz of frozen corn, thawed
2
|
Bell pepper – you can leave this out if you’d rather not have ½ of a bell pepper leftover.
3
|
Bouillon – I highly recommend keeping some Better than Bouillon on hand at all times. This recipe calls for the vegetarian beef flavor, but I often just use the generic vegetarian bouillon. You could also use a bouillon cube OR swap the water in this recipe for broth.

Storage Instructions – Store each component separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the tofu and sweet potatoes before assembling.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Press Your Tofu Properly 🤐Wrap extra firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and weight it down for 15-20 minutes before cooking to remove excess moisture, allowing it to absorb the chipotle-soy marinade and achieve a crispy, golden exterior when pan-fried.
- Make Creamy Street Corn Sauce from Scratch 🌽Blend half your corn with mayo and sour cream to create a luxurious, chunky sauce base rather than mixing everything together, giving you better texture and more authentic street corn flavor throughout the bowl.
- Char Your Sweet Potatoes for Depth 🔥After roasting sweet potato cubes until tender, finish them in a screaming hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side to develop caramelized edges that add complexity and prevent a one-note sweetness in your bowl.
- Dust Tofu with Cornstarch Before Searing ✨Mix cornstarch with your taco seasoning and coat the pressed tofu cubes just before cooking to create an irresistibly crispy, restaurant-quality crust that seals in the flavors.
- Toast Your Cotija Before Serving 🧀Lightly warm the crumbled cotija cheese in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes just before plating to enhance its nutty, salty character and prevent it from becoming waxy on warm ingredients.
