Chipotle Sofritas Recipe Copycat

In a food processor, combine bell pepper, tomato, onion, water, chipotle chilies and adobo sauce, garlic, red wine vinegar, ancho chile powder, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until the marinade is slightly chunky and thoroughly combined. Set aside.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Carefully place the tofu in the pan, flip occasionally, and cook until the tofu is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Roughly chop the tofu, or pulse the tofu in a food processor until the tofu is roughly in 1/4 inch pieces. Place in a bowl and add the marinade. Cover and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.

To cook the tofu, heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the marinated tofu and any remaining marinade. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, adding additional water to desired consistency. Cook until tofu is heated through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
