  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 block of firm or extra-firm tofu (14-16 oz)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from chipotle can)
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ cup vegetable broth (or water)
– Fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Chipotle Sofritas at home is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Press the Tofu: Drain the tofu and press it between two plates to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes.
2. Crumble the Tofu: After pressing, crumble the tofu into small pieces with your hands or a fork.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Sauté Onions: Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
6. Add Tofu: Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.
7. Mix in Spices: Add chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the tofu evenly.
8. Add Liquid: Pour in the vegetable broth (or water) and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tofu to absorb the spices.
9. Add Lime Juice: Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice for brightness.
10. Garnish: Serve your Chipotle Sofritas hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
