Description

Imagine starting your day with a vibrant and flavorful bowl that awakens your senses. This plant-based breakfast bowl offers a delightful combination of textures and tastes, providing a nourishing and satisfying meal. At the heart of this dish lies a bed of delicately steamed cauliflower rice.

Its mild flavor provides the perfect canvas for the bolder ingredients that follow. Intermingled with the rice are diced tomatoes and green chilies, infusing the bowl with a subtle, yet pleasant, warmth and a touch of freshness. The star of this breakfast bowl is the tofu scramble, expertly seasoned to mimic the familiar flavors of a classic egg scramble.

A blend of spices adds depth and complexity, while a sprinkle of nutritional yeast lends a savory, cheesy note. The creamy avocado slices provide a luxurious richness that perfectly complements the other elements. A final dusting of nutritional yeast adds an extra layer of savory goodness.

This breakfast bowl is incredibly versatile. Feel free to personalize it with your favorite toppings. Shredded lettuce can add a refreshing crunch, while a dollop of salsa can intensify the flavors.

For a different twist, consider using guacamole in place of avocado slices, adding a zesty and vibrant alternative. To elevate the dish further, you might consider a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce made from nut cheese or cashew cream, offering a tangy counterpoint to the other ingredients, replicating the taste of sour cream. The choice of cooking oil can also be adapted to your preference.

While coconut oil lends a subtle sweetness, avocado oil, with its higher smoke point, is an excellent alternative. Olive oil can also be used, provided you monitor the cooking temperature carefully. In the event that canned diced tomatoes and green chilies are unavailable, simply combine diced fresh tomatoes with a finely diced jalapeño to achieve the desired level of spice.

Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the tofu scramble to tailor the dish to your preferred level of heat. This bowl is more than just a meal; it's a celebration of flavors and textures. It’s a customizable, plant-based delight that is sure to become a breakfast favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Add cauliflower rice to a wide skillet over high heat. Add the water to the skillet, and cover the rice with a lid. Let the rice simmer in the water until the water evaporates and the cauliflower is soft.
    2.
    Add canned diced tomatoes and chilis to the cauliflower rice, and reduce the heat to medium. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower rice, and stir to combine. Stir the rice in the skillet for 2 more minutes.
    3.
    Transfer the rice and tomatoes to your serving bowl, and return the skillet to the stove. Prepare tofu by draining the packaging and squeezing as much excess water out of the tofu as possible. Use paper towels to absorb the extra water. Then, crumble the right amount of tofu into a bowl.
    4.
    Melt the coconut oil in your skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Season the tofu with salt, pepper, cumin, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook the tofu while stirring for 3-4 minutes, then stir the nutritional yeast into the tofu.
    5.
    Transfer the ","scrambled eggs"" to your bowl of cauliflower rice. Assemble the rest of the bowl with avocado slices and more nutritional yeast on top. Add other burrito bowl toppings at your discretion.
