Chipotle Vegan Burrito Bowl is one of the most loved and favoruite Vegan dishes of mine. Its spicy, hearty, comforting and a perfect meal! This recipe of Baked Tofu Burrito Bowl is a close mimic of Chipotle Burrito Bowl, but with a secret twist!

This Burrito Bowl is Vegan. I have skipped the meat and used Baked Tofu instead. You can swap out with meat obviously if you aren't into Vegan food.
But the flavors, you guys is just beyond delicious! The burst of Lime and Cilantro flavors in the rice, beans, sweet corn and the salsa is super good!
Also I love how pretty and colorful these Burrito Bowls are! The colorful Peppers, then the Avocado and of course the highlight of the show is Cilantro! Always!!

You know the thing about Tofu, it has no flavors of its own. But the best thing about it is that you can flavor it just the way you wish to.
Make it sweet or spicy and it soaks up all the flavors like a sponge!
And top it over fluffy cooked rice and it just mops up all those delicious flavors!
This Spicy Baked Tofu burrito Bowl is just the same, but a little more on veggies. There's Avocado, Red Onions, Jalapenos along with Salsa and Rice!
You can obviously top with Guacamole.

Also its obviously minus the Tortilla because this is like a deconstructed Burrito which makes them naturally gluten free!!!!!!
