Spicy Tofu Sofritos

You can have restaurant-style sofritos without going out to eat. These tofu sofritos are cooked with fresh tomatoes, spices, and three types of chili peppers to make it extra-spicy. This makes as a filling for any Mexican-style dish, like tacos, burritos, and burrito bowls.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 14-ounce block extra firm tofu
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 small green chili pepper, chopped

1. Drain the tofu and press it between paper towels with weight placed on top and set aside for 10-15 minutes.

6. Season with salt, taco seasoning, and ground oregano. Add the crumbled tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors mingle.
