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.
