These Chipotle copycat sofritas are a healthy, vegan-friendly protein alternative with tons of flavor. They’re low sugar, low sodium, spicy, and great for adding to tacos or veggie burrito bowls!
You can either use a tofu press, or wrap it in a few paper towels or a kitchen towel, and place a heavy object on top. Saute the onion and pepper in 1 tsp olive oil until caramelized.
Add the block of tofu and crumble it into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook the shredded tofu until golden brown and slightly crispy (about 8-10 minutes).
Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir until combined. Cook on medium/low heat until the flavors combine about 5-10 minutes. Add black beans with the sauce if using.
While you can eat sofritas on their own, I recommend adding them to a taco shell, a burrito or a bowl with other fresh ingredients for an awesome meal.
