When I get a craving for takeout, I make my homemade sofritas, which is a Chipotle copycat! I combine extra-firm tofu, smoky chipotle peppers, and a rich tomato paste into a bold plant-based filling that comes together in just 45 minutes. This is a dish designed to suit vegans and meat eaters, which pairs perfectly with tacos, burritos, and many traditional Mexican meals.

Sofritas Sauce
Saute the onion and pepper in 1 tsp olive oil until caramelized.
Place all of the sofritas ingredients (including onion/pepper mixture) in a food processor or blender, blend until smooth.
Tofu Mixture
Press and drain the tofu for 15 minutes to get rid of the excess water. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and crumble it using a wooden spoon. cook until golden brown and slightly crispy. Add the black beans to the tofu mixture if using
Once the tofu is cooked (about 8-10 min), pour the Sofritas sauce into the skillet and cook on medium/low heat until the flavors combine about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm.
