"Bowl food is a one-dish meal that is more than the sum of its distinct parts. It might include a protein, grain, crudites, salsa or even a puree, such as hummus. This recipe is a three-fer, which means you have three unique recipes in one. So, while the ingredient list is lengthy, do not fret. Consider it a bonus: Each part can be prepared on its own or served as an accompaniment to another dish."
"Bowl recipes are flexible and open to your taste. For instance, if you are not a fan of tofu, substitute chicken or skirt steak. Tinker with the spices and heat to your taste. Substitute the rice for another grain, such as quinoa. Add a scoop of guacamole or a bean puree, or grated cheese and salsa rioja. You get the picture the world is your bowl."
Pan-fried tofu is marinated in a chipotle-adobo, lime, maple, soy, garlic, and cumin sauce that also serves as the bowl dressing. Basmati rice is cooked with garlic and seasoned with lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, and optional red pepper flakes for a citrusy, herbed side. The black bean and corn salsa combines cooked black beans, corn, jalapeño, red onion, and lime for a juicy-crisp topping. Each component can be prepared and served independently. The bowl allows many substitutions, including other proteins, alternative grains like quinoa, and additions such as guacamole, bean puree, or grated cheese.
