Do you crave the tantalizing flavors of Chipotle’s sofritas? You’ll love this scrumptious copycat recipe that’s bursting with crave-worthy flavors. Think plant-based protein coated in a delicious blend of roasted veggies, spices, and chipotle peppers, this dish will give you all the savory goodness you love, without the guilt.

In our recipe aisle, we’re all about making things simple, so we’ve broken down this recipe into three easy steps. First, we’ll roast the veggies and tofu. The peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic will caramelize in the oven, infusing the sofritas sauce with an explosion of flavor. The tofu, torn into crispy crumbles, will achieve that perfect, golden-brown texture that’ll stand up to the thick sauce later on.
Next, let’s create our flavorful sauce! We’ll blend those roasted veggies with tomato paste, chipotle chilies, adobo sauce, and a symphony of spices. The result? A thick, slightly chunky paste that will coat your crispy tofu and soak up all that deliciousness.

Finally, it’s time to bring it all together! Heat up your skillet and add the sauce and crispy tofu. As you stir, the tofu will soak up the smoky, spicy flavor of the sauce. It’ll be a love affair for your taste buds!
Your sofritas are ready to devour! You can enjoy them right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. And if you’re a meal-prepping ninja, they freeze well for up to 3 months. Just allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge or give them a quick defrost in the microwave.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to serving your sofritas. Pile them high on a burrito bowl with your favorite toppings. Top off your rice or tacos with this savory goodness. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these sofritas will satisfy your cravings and keep you coming back for more!
