Crumbled extra-firm tofu is a great stand-in for ground beef. You can make these veggie-filled bowls early in the week for grab-and-go meals when days are busy. Just spoon the mixture evenly into 4 single-serve containers, seal, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
1. Combine tofu, tamari, garlic powder, and paprika in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, swirling to coat. Add tofu mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare riced cauliflower according to package directions. Toss cauliflower rice with 4 teaspoons oil and taco seasoning.
3. Spoon cauliflower rice into bowls. Top with tofu mixture, cabbage, avocado, salsa, and cilantro.
