WHAT MAKES THIS SOFRITAS RECIPE SO GOOD?
- We LOVE a good CopyCat Recipe! Chipotle has helped make eating out as a vegetarian or vegan much easier, but I don’t always love their prices when I know I can make something similar myself.
- Quick and Easy! These Sofritas are the perfect substitute for busy weeknights. They are quick and easy to make and filled with soy sauce, tomatoes, salsa, bell peppers, and onions!
- Customizable and KID friendly! We LOVE LOVE LOVE that you can easily make this your own. It provides the perfect BASE for dinner! Don’t like a certain ingredient typically in a sofritas bowl? Leave it out? This makes for an easy way to feed the most picky families!
- Works for all meals of the day. We love to eat these sofritas all day long! Toss the sofritas with some scrambled eggs and make a breakfast burrito or have a traditional bowl for lunch or dinner!
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR SOFRITAS
- Double batch this recipe! We like to double batch this recipe and use it for a meal prepped option all week long!
- Be creative in how your use your sofritas! Think beyond the bowl! Think breakfast burrito, nachos and more! If you really want to cook up a storm make these Tortilla Chips in the Air Fryer then toss your sofritas on top with other toppings! YUM!
- Be sure to press your tofu! We like firm or extra firm tofu. Pressing the tofu will get rid of the extra water and it will cook up faster and absorb the flavors better!
- Reheating: Put your sofritas into a sauce pan and cover for about 5 minutes and stir. If still not heated through enough, cook another few minutes and check again. The reheat time will depend on how many servings you are reheating at once!
