Spicy Sofritas Tofu: A Flavor Explosion!
Sofritas tofu: cook this spicy, flavorful plant-based protein in 25 minutes. Ideal for tacos, burritos, or bright veggie bowls.
Ingredients
- 1 poblano pepper
- 1-3 individual chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons the adobo sauce
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup your favorite salsa
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 14-ounce package extra firm tofu
Instructions
- Roast the poblano pepper over a flame or broil for 15 minutes until blistered and soft.
- Blend poblano, chipotles, garlic, spices, and salsa in a food processor until a mostly smooth paste forms.
- Slice and press the extra firm tofu with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- Heat canola oil over medium-high heat and scramble the tofu into small bits with a spatula.
- Add the sofritas sauce with 1/2 cup water and simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
- Add more water as necessary, and season to taste with salt and lime juice.
- Serve immediately in tacos, burritos, or rice bowls.
Notes
- For best results, press your tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess water; this allows it to better absorb the sofritas sauce. - When roasting the poblano, ensure the skin is thoroughly blistered and charred, then place it in a sealed bag for 10 minutes to steam, making it easier to peel. - If the sauce seems too thick during simmering, add a tablespoon or two of water until it reaches your desired consistency.
