Notes

You could also make this baked tofu burrito bowl with this creamy jalapeno sauce instead of the creamy salsa.
If you would prefer to use cubed tofu, the crispy buffalo tofu used in this recipe would be a fantastic addition! 
You could make your own spicy rice using white rice, tomato paste, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Or, you could make this fun and flavorful Nando-style spicy rice.
