These tofu burrito bowls are better than Chipotle!

Chipotle is one of my favorite restaurants to eat at.

As a vegetarian, there aren’t a lot of mainstream restaurants that offer a cohesive meal that is veggie friendly like Chipotle does.

I decided to recreate the theme of Chipotle’s “burrito bowls” for this recipe.

I felt like I was eating out in my kitchen!

The tofu for this recipe is not like the sofritas that Chipotle has.

I decided instead to make a super easy and minimalistic tofu recipe without a lot of fancy ingredients.

I was really surprised at just how delicious and full of flavor the tofu was (with only 4 ingredients!)

First, to get the texture of the tofu just right, I baked it on parchment paper after it had finished pressing.

This allows a lot of the moisture to bake out in the oven, so that we don’t end up with mushy tofu.

The other key to the incredible flavor is that I made both homemade guacamole and homemade salsa, both of which are easier than you think!

With just a few minutes of prep time you can really up flavor of this dish and make it crazy good!

I love the flavor of fresh salsa and freshly made guac.

It really makes me feel like I’m eating out at a fancy Mexican restaurant!

Chipotle fajita veggies would also be delicious here.

For the rice in this recipe, I just cooked some white basmati rice in a slow cooker.

No seasoning of the rice is required, as it will get tons of flavor once mixed with the other ingredients of the burrito bowl.

You can also substitute cilantro lime cauliflower rice.

I literally could not stop saying how good this was while eating it.

My husband and I both ate huge bowls and there was still a big serving leftover for my lunch the next day!

This was by far worth every second it took to make it. I will be making burrito bowls at home more often now!

I reheated the leftovers the next day for my lunch and the tofu kept its texture perfectly and everything was just as delicious as the night before.
