Ingredients

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, Trader Joe’s High Protein recommended
  • 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 chipotle pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Remove the tofu block from the packaging and drain. Pat dry with a towel. Cut into 3/4" slices and pat dry again.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the tofu slices and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and brown on the other side. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the tofu up into crumbles. Continue to saute for another few minutes to brown. Transfer crumbled tofu to a plate and set aside.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and oregano and saute one minute longer.
  4. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chipotle, adobo sauce, salt, and water. Simmer over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Add the crumbled tofu and red wine vinegar and stir to combine. Add more salt and/or adobo sauce to taste. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve your chipotle sofritas as a taco filling or part of a burrito bowl.
