Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into slices.

Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the tofu slices for about 8 minutes, flipping until browned on both sides.

Make the sauce by blending chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, green bell pepper, oregano, tomato, salsa, tomato paste, and salt in a food processor until slightly chunky.

Crumble the tofu using a wooden spoon into bite-sized pieces.

Add the sauce to the crumbled tofu and stir well to coat.

Simmer for 15 minutes on medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serve warm with tacos, burrito bowls, rice, or as a filling for burritos.
