Ingredients
- 1 poblano pepper
- 1 -3 individual chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce (1 for mild/medium, 3 for very spicy)
- 2 tablespoons of the adobo sauce
- 2 -3 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 14 -ounce package extra firm tofu
Steps
-
Hold the poblano over the flame on a gas range until it’s hot and blistery. Alternatively: turn your oven to the broil setting, coat the poblano with oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 15 minutes at a time until it’s soft and blistered.
-
Place poblano, chipotles, garlic, spices, and salsa in a small blender or food processor (EXCEPT tofu). Pulse until a mostly smooth paste forms.
-
Slice the tofu and press with a clean towel to remove as much excess moisture as you can (the drier the tofu, the better it soaks up the sauce). Heat a drizzle of oil over medium high heat. Scramble the tofu into small bits with a spatula or wooden spoon. You can do beans or no beans – this is a choose your own adventure here. Add the sofritas sauce with 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce is richly colored and thickened slightly. Add more water as necessary, and season to taste with the salt and lime juice.
-
Serve in tacos, burritos, and mega rice bowls!
