Chef's Notes
Cooked Beans If you prefer to cook your own beans, use 1¾ cups cooked beans for every 1 (15-ounce) can of beans.
Soy-Free Substitute 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas for the tofu. Mash with a fork or pulse a couple of times in a food processor.
Prep Make ahead.
Add-ons Add more bulk to this meal by adding guacamole or organic corn. You can also ditch the bowl completely and use this as a burrito filling.
