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.
