Copycat Chipotle Veggie Bowl with Fajita Veggies and Sofritas
Looking for a copycat Chipotle veggie bowl recipe that truly recreates this iconic takeout at home but just cannot seem to? Trust me, I get you but this recipe is so good I fooled my friends into thinking I got it from Chipotle! Except, it tastes even better and costs a fraction of the price to make.
Use a firm tofu and press it. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
Fry thin tofu slices with a bit of olive oil until golden brown. Use a food processor to chop the fried tofu.
Add all marinade ingredients to a food processor and chop them until chunky.
Marinate the tofu crumbles for 30 minutes.
Take a cast-iron skillet or a frying pan and heat it over medium heat. If you feel the sauce became too thick at the end of the marinating time, add a bit of veggie broth. Start with ¼ cup (0,5dl). Add the marinated tofu crumbles and cook for about 10 minutes.
Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice
Cook rice according to package instructions.
Once the rice is cooled, add freshly squeezed lime juice, freshly chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Tomato and Corn Salsa
Wash and chop cherry tomatoes into quarters. Drain canned sweet corn. Peel and finely chop red onion and garlic.
Mix all chopped ingredients in a small bowl. Add freshly chopped cilantro and olive oil. Stir until combined.
Pan-fried Fajitas Veggies
The EASIEST way to make fajitas veggies is in a sheet pan. For detailed steps, top tips, video, and more guidance visit our fajita veggies post. However, if we need only 1-2 servings, we usually make pan-fried veggies in 5 minutes.
Peel and slice onion ¼-inch (4-5 mm) wide. Wash and slice bell peppers also ¼-inch (4-5 mm) wide.
Preheat a frying pan on medium heat. Add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot enough, add the onion and the bell pepper slices and sprinkle them with the fajitas spice mix. Stir to combine and fry them for 5 minutes until they are tender.
Guacamole
Take a ripe avocado. Cut it in half and turn it with your hands around the seed. Spoon the soft avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with your fork.
Peel and finely chop the red onion. Squeeze a bit of lime juice. Chop fresh cilantro leaves.
Add chopped ingredients, lime juice, and salt to the mashed avocado and mix well.
