What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Blend the roasted poblano, crushed tomatoes, garlic, chipotle powder, cumin, smoked paprika, honey, salt, and pepper with the vegetable broth into a smooth sauce.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots.
  4. Pour the sauce over the tofu, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the tofu absorbs the flavors.
  5. Stir in the fresh lime juice and taste for salt.
  6. Remove from heat and let the sofritas rest for 3 minutes before serving.
