Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and drained

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup cooked quinoa

1 cup fresh spinach

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1 avocado, sliced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup crispy fried onions (for topping)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

    Cook the Tofu: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned tofu and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy.

      Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the BBQ sauce, tossing the tofu gently to coat. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly caramelized.

        Prepare the Bowl: In a large bowl, start with a base of cooked quinoa. Layer the fresh spinach on top, followed by the corn, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

          Add Tofu & Garnish: Spoon the crunchy BBQ tofu over the vibrant veggie layers. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and crispy fried onions for that added crunch.

            Serve: Serve your power bowl with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick. Squeeze lime juice over the bowl before indulging.
