Smoky Tofu Chili

This vegan recipe shows off the chameleon-like qualities of a longstanding protein alternative: tofu. Big flavors from aromatics including garlic, tomato paste, chipotle, and cumin are simmered together with the extra-firm tofu, which holds its shape through cooking and while soaking up every bit of the big chili flavor at the same time.
