Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Roast the poblano pepper over a flame or broil for 15 minutes until blistered and soft.
  2. Blend poblano, chipotles, garlic, spices, and salsa in a food processor until a mostly smooth paste forms.
  3. Slice and press the extra firm tofu with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. Heat canola oil over medium-high heat and scramble the tofu into small bits with a spatula.
  5. Add the sofritas sauce with 1/2 cup water and simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  6. Add more water as necessary, and season to taste with salt and lime juice.
  7. 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.
