These sofritas are perfect for burritos, bowls, tacos, quesadillas, etc.
I’ve always enjoyed the Sofritas from Chipotle. They’re spicy and flavorful and have become a staple topping for me whenever I find myself there.
I’ve really wanted to create my own version for awhile. So a couple of weeks ago I gave it a shot and was amazed with how delicious and simple it was!
I’ve never worked directly with chipotle peppers. I love chipotle mayo, sauces, etc. but working with them first hand was a lot of fun and I definitely plan on creating other recipes for the blog including them.
I find that during this pandemic I have been cooking a lot of different things I never really imagined I’d be making. If you have been following me for awhile you would know how much I love creating pasta recipes. I never plan on stopping pasta recipes but I realized that I needed to change it up a bit.
So what do you need for this recipe?
- Chipotle peppers in Adobo Sauce
- Onion
- Tomato Paste
- Lime
- Garlic
- Sugar
- Vegetable broth
- Spices
Depending on what your pantry looks like, you may have all of these ingredients on hand! I now will always have a can of chipotle peppers in adobo in my pantry.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe! If you make any of my recipes, don’t forget to tag me on IG @plantbasedjane
