At Chipotle, sofritas = tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But more generally, according to our lady of the internet, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sofrito\">Wiki<\/a>:  \u201csofrito, sofregit, soffritto, or refogado is a sauce used as a base in  Latin American, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese cooking. Preparations  may vary, but it typically consists of aromatic ingredients cut into  small pieces and sauteed or braised in cooking oil.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Okay So\u2026 What\u2019s in Sofritas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, good question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First and foremost, in this case, TOFU!
