Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

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.

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 slightly. Once cooled a bit, dice the tofu so it’s in shreds.

Meanwhile, toss the sweet potato with the olive oil, salt + pepper, and taco seasoning. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, tossing halfway, until fork tender.

Assemble the bowls by dividing the tofu "beef", sweet potato, cottage cheese, avocado, and honey evenly among 2 bowls. Garnish with cilantro and ENJOY!

Notes

If using super firm tofu, there’s no need to press it first.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Press Your Tofu Thoroughly 🫶
Use a tofu press or wrap in cheesecloth for at least 30 minutes before crumbling to remove excess moisture, allowing it to brown beautifully and absorb the taco seasoning more effectively.
Crumble by Hand for Texture 👐
Break the pressed tofu into irregular, bite-sized pieces by hand rather than using a food processor to achieve a ground beef-like texture that mimics the viral bowl aesthetic.
Toast Seasoning in Oil First 🫗
Bloom your taco seasoning in the hot olive oil for 30 seconds before adding the tofu to unlock the spices' full flavor potential and create a more cohesive, deeply seasoned filling.
Hot Honey Application Strategy 🍯
Drizzle hot honey over the assembled bowl just before serving to maintain its warmth and create a beautiful glaze that contrasts with cool avocado and cottage cheese elements.
Build Bowls for Flavor Layering 🥣
Layer your components strategically—place warm sweet potato at the base, then add cooler ingredients on top to maintain distinct temperatures and prevent flavors from becoming muddled.
