Really easy, one pan meal. Left out the rice and added shredded carrots in the end for some crunch.
0 HelpfulThese were ok. The 2 year old, husband, and in-laws liked them, but I thought they could’ve been better.
0 HelpfulReally enjoyed this one, though I think I'd make a marinade for the tofu next time to give it a bit more flavor, and maybe toss some jalapenos in with the beans and corn. Like some other people, I ended up just eating mine as a burrito bowl and skipping the tortillas, since gluten free tortillas are usually a little too crumbly to properly wrap a burrito.
0 HelpfulI subbed chicken instead of tofu since I'm not a fan of the consistency. These were real easy and quite filling. Also really great reheated for work the next day.
0 HelpfulMade this with soyrizo instead of pork. Quite tasty; didn't need the extra spices with the soyrizo spices.
