Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup chopped white or sweet onion
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup canned fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth (or water or juice from tomato can, if you want these extra spicy)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 ounce) container extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed.
For serving:
- 8–10 tortillas
- 2 avocados, sliced
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Make the sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5-8 minutes. Add in the garlic, chipotle peppers, oregano, cumin, tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the mixture to a high-powered blender along with the broth and salt and puree until smooth.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Crumble the tofu and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add in the sauce and cook for 5-8 minutes until sauce has thickened and mixture is hot.
- Serve: Warm the tortillas, then top with tofu tinga mixture, avocado and cilantro, if using. Eat!
