CHIPOTLE SOFRITAS TOFU

Steps:

• to 375˚F.
• Drain tofu and slice block in half so you have two thinner rectangles. Cube, then arrange on an even layer of paper towel, cover with more paper towel and set something heavy on top (like a book) for at least 15 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.
• Place pressed tofu in a ziploc or reusable bag with 1 tbsp oil and shake to coat. Add cornstarch and salt and shake until tofu is evenly coated. Transfer tofu to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and roughly chop tofu into smaller pieces.
• While the tofu is baking, add all sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If you're sensitive to spice, start with 1 chipotle pepper and 1 tbsp of adobo sauce, and increase after tasting (if desired).
• Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
• Add chopped tofu and stir well. Add in sauce and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring every minute or two, until tofu is crispy and sauce is mostly reduced.
• in a burrito bowl, tacos, or eat on its own!
