Copycat Chipotle Sofritas

block of extra firm tofu, pressed*

olive oil

onion

chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

of the adobo sauce

broth

tomato paste

maple syrup

½ teaspoon of fine sea salt

tsp cumin

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp smoked paprika

apple cider vinegar

garlic

For servings: cilantro lime rice,

Prep the tofu

: Drain your block of tofu and press it for about 15 minutes (either using a tofu press or following the directions in the notes*). Once pressed, pat dry and break into chunks (I usually do this into a large bowl) about the size of a quarter. When in doubt, I aim for slightly larger than I want as it usually breaks up a bit in the cooking process.

Make the sauce

: in a stand mixer or blender, combine the adobo pepper, adobo sauce, broth, tomato paste, maple syrup, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, apple cider vinegar, and garlic cloves. Blend until creamy and few chunks remain.

Cook the sofritas

: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and add in the onion and tofu chunks. Spread it into an even layer and let sit, without, stirring, for about 2-3 minutes. Stir and repeat this a few times (cooking for a total of about 8-10 minutes). You want to get the tofu nice and browned but watch that it’s not burning at all. Turn down the heat if it’s starting to burn.

Add in the sofritas sauce that you made and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 2 more minutes so that it’s heated through.

Serve

I like to eat this as a traditional burrito bowl by serving it with cilantro lime rice, black beans, salsa, and guacamole. Bonus points if you also make some sauteed veggies!

Made this today and it was soooo delicious easy to navigate the recipe ingredients easy to find and so worth making again and again . Didn't have a tofu press but flour sack and cast iron did the trick.

Made this and it turned out amazing ? had to order the chipotle peppers online because i am based in Vienna, but it was sooo worth it ? thanks you so much ?

I've made these twice now! AMAZING recipe and tastes even BETTER than the chipotle sofritas. I am a big chipotle fan, so going vegan was a hard adjustment, but it just got all that much easier!

I loved this recipe!!! Definitely will be making again soon. It was super easy and so so delicious!

Whoa we LOVED this recipe! Just tried it tonight and will definitely be adding into the regular rotation. We doubled the recipe so we can have lots of leftovers. We had purchased store-bought guacamole and pico de gallo, so it all came together really quickly. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or lunch. Thank you!

I have made this 3 times, (to use all the peppers) and each time it has been great!  I didn't alter the recipe in any way.  
I mixed the tofu mix with a cup of brown rice and pinto beans.  Super yummy!

Loved this! Next time I’ll try a little hotter when cooking tofu/onion to get browning more quickly. Spicy but a good amount!
