Chipotle Sauce Marinade
- 14.5 oz can of roasted diced tomatoes

For the marinade, add all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend into a smooth sauce.
On a large pan, heat a small amount of oil on medium-high. Break up the super firm tofu with your hands into various sized crumbles and add to the pan. Saute the tofu for 3-5 mins.
Reduce the heat to low-medium. Add the chipotle sauce mixture (about 2 cups) to the pan and mix with the tofu until well coated. Let the tofu marinate in the sauce for 5 mins, stirring occasionally.

Super Firm Tofu Your tofu should have almost no moisture inside, like this. If you can’t find super firm tofu, then invest in a tofu press that will squeeze out all the water.
Leftover sauce? Save it and use it as a delicious, smokey (spicy) salsa!
