I recently fixed these chipotle tofu wraps and they were so good that I am planning on having them again this Friday. It's really simple to prepare. First you will want to get as much moisture out of your extra firm tofu, cut it into medium cubes, and then let it marinate overnight in some worcestershire sauce or any other marinating sauce and spices that would compliment your chipotle flavor like chili powder. Make sure your cubes are not too tiny or too large. I also cut up some smoked chipotle peppers in there too.
Then I sauteed the tofu( not the peppers..it would be WAY too hot, i just used them for flavor) in a non stick skillet with a bit of olive oil to brown it and to get rid of more of the moisture. Once I felt that they were good and brown I placed them in the oven on low heat to let them firm up a bit more.
Use in your tortilla wraps along with some fresh beans(pinto, black, and/or kidney), chopped spinach, cilantro, cheese, salsa, sour cream, tomatoes, and fresh avocados/guacamole, etc. This tofu would taste great without the tortilla as well as a healthy/simple salad along with your favorite complimenting dressing.

Shalom Sis -
This sounds good! I just want to add one thing...
A tip on Tofu for these type of recipes is to of course by extra firm tofu, but to also place the unopened tofu in the freezer and let freeze for 24 hours. Place it in the refrigerator to defrost. This will provide the tofu with a "chicken-like" texture.
Enjoy!
