Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: ⅓ cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed; ⅓ cup uncooked brown rice; 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water; ¼ tsp salt; 14 oz extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed; 2 tsp olive oil; ½ cup finely diced yellow onion; 1 small poblano pepper, finely diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 Tbsp tomato paste; 1 tsp chili powder; 1 tsp smoked paprika; ½ tsp ground cumin; ¼ tsp dried oregano; ½ tsp salt; 1 tsp olive oil; 1 (15-oz) can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed; ½ tsp ground cumin; ¼ tsp garlic powder; 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce; 1 cup halved grape tomatoes; 1 medium avocado, diced; ¼ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted; ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro; 1 lime, cut into wedges

Preparation

Combine the quinoa, brown rice, broth and ¼ tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes, or until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, crumble the tofu into small pieces. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and poblano and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano and salt. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the tofu and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and coated with the seasonings.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin and garlic powder. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
Divide the rice-quinoa mixture among four bowls. Top evenly with the black beans, tofu sofritas, romaine, tomatoes and avocado.
Sprinkle each bowl with pumpkin seeds and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
