Ingredients
  

For the Sofritas

  • 2 poblano peppers
  • ½ cup vegetable stock
  • 4 chiles from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon neutral-flavored vegetable oil
  • 1 16-ounce package extra firm tofu frozen, thawed, drained, and pressed

For the Burrito Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup salsa homemade or store-bought
  • ½ cup fresh corn kernels
  • 2 avocados diced
  • ½ cup cashew cheese sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro for serving, optional

Instructions
 

Make the Sofritas

  • Preheat the broiler on your oven. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and place the sheet under the broiler. Cook the peppers until they char, about 3-5 minutes, and then flip them over and allow the other side to char as well.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once they’ve cooled, peel off the outer skin and remove the seeds with a sharp pairing knife.
  • Place the peppers into a blender or food processor along with the vegetable stock, chipotles, adobo sauce, tomato paste, garlic, chili powder, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and sea salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Crumble the tofu into the pan and then add the sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the tofu.

Make the Burrito Bowls

  • Divide the sofritos, brown rice, and black beans between 4 bowls. Top with the lettuce, salsa, avocado, cheese sauce, and cilantro, if using.
  • Serve warm.
