Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained (canned is fine)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or vegan cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup vegan sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Press tofu by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and maple syrup. Toss cubed tofu in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add tofu cubes and sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine vegan sour cream or Greek yogurt with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. In a serving bowl, layer in order: black beans, corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cooked tofu cubes, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle lime juice over avocado layer.
  6. Spoon the chili sour cream mixture evenly over the top layer and swirl gently with a knife for a marbled effect.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Press tofu well to achieve a golden crust and avoid sogginess. Add avocado and dressing just before serving to keep layers fresh and prevent browning. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Variations include swapping tofu for grilled chicken or tempeh, and adding jalapeΓ±os for heat.
