Press extra firm tofu in a tofu press to remove excess moisture.

Blend 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, 1 tablespoon of adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, spices (cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt), 1/2 cup of water, and 1/3 of a vegetable bouillon cube until smooth.

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the blended mixture and set aside.

Crumble the pressed tofu into small chunks by hand.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add crumbled tofu, chopped half of a large white onion, and 4 cloves of garlic to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes until some tofu is browned.

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the blended sauce, stirring to coat the tofu.

Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to heat through.
