Ingredients
 
 

  • cup brown rice
  • 8 oz sweet corn canned (15 oz can)
  • 16 oz black beans canned (2x15 oz cans) - can substitute with different type of beans.
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • ½ red onion minced
  • shredded lettuce optional
  • 1 cup cilantro optional but highly recommended

"No-chicken" meat

  • 15 oz tofu extra firm
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Instructions
 

  • Cook the brown rice according to the instructions on the package. If using an Instant Pot you can mix 1:1 with water and cook on high pressure for 23 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for another 20 minutes.

No-chicken meat

  • Preheat oven at 375° F (190° C).
  • Mix all the no-chicken meat ingredients except for tofu to form a paste.
  • Pat the tofu dry in a paper towel then crumble it on top of the paste. Using your hands mix the tofu and the paste.
  • Spread the tofu on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes or more if you prefer a crunchier texture. It should look similar to the image below.
