Sofritas Burrito
with rice / bell peppers / guacamole

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
Sofritas have become a trendy vegetarian burrito filling thanks to their addition to Chipotle's menu. This is our copycat version combined with other favorite burrito fillings.
Smarts: If you prefer a meat-based filling for these burritos, ground pork or finely chopped chicken work well as a substitute for the tofu.

Prep

  1. Tofu - If tofu is packaged in water, press out liquid first, like in this video. Then finely chop into small pieces. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
  2. Rice - Double if making Wednesday’s meal. For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Bell peppers / Onions / Shallots - Prep as directed. Combine bell peppers and onions. Store shallots separately. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  4. Make spice mix - Combine cumin, chili powder, ground coriander, and oregano. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  5. Corn - If using frozen, defrost. If using canned, drain and rinse.
  6. Beans - Drain and rinse.
  7. Make guacamole - Chop cilantro. Mash together shallots, cilantro, avocados, and lime juice. Season to taste with some salt. Add some hot sauce if you’d like it spicy.
