The Fueling Edge Fajita Bowl

By: Sarah Heckler, MS, RD/LDN, CISSN

Our signature fueling system, The Fueling Edge, focuses on

1. lean protein
2. fruits and veggies (especially the leafy greens and red veggies)
3. healthy fats
4. extra fuel (grains & starches)
5. adding flavor (boost)
6. hydration

This recipe fits perfectly in our system and therefore we named it after The Fueling Edge.

1. lean protein= taco spiced tofu
2. fruits and veggies (especially the leafy greens and red veggies)= onion, bell pepper and red cabbage
3. healthy fats= guacamole
4. extra fuel (grains & starches)= black beans
5. adding flavor (boost)= taco seasoning, which you can make your own with paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes or you can buy a pre mixed version
6. hydration

Ingredients

• 16 ounces tofu firm, organic
• 3 each bell peppers sliced
• 1 each onion medium, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 15 ounces Black beans canned, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Red Cabbage shredded
• 1 each lime sliced
• 1/2 cup guacamole

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• While oven is preheating, remove the tofu from the packaging and place it on a cutting board. Place a pot on top to drain the excess moisture. Set aside.
• While tofu is pressing, wash and slice the bell peppers and peel and slice the onion. Toss the sliced vegetables in olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are desired doneness.
• While veggies are cooking remove the pot from on top of the tofu and slice the tofu into cubes. Toss the cubes in the taco seasoning. Once tossed, place the tofu on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
• While the tofu and veggies are cooking, drain and rinse the black beans and set them aside. If your cabbage is not pre-shredded, cut into thin ribbons.
• When veggies and tofu are done cooking, remove from the oven.
• Place the tofu, beans, veggies and cabbage in a bowl. Top with guacamole and lime slices.
