- To prepare the chipotle mayo, mix together the chipotle sauce with your favourite mayo.
Notes
Use firm or extra-firm tofu for this recipe. Softer tofus have more liquid in them and won’t brown well in the pan.
You can use a food processor to crumble the tofu or just crumble the tofu by hand. If using a food processor don’t overmix the tofu.
If you don’t have a high tolerance for spicy food, start with just one chipotle pepper in adobo, you can always add more spice if you like!
Store leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 3 days
