TOFU WITH HOT CHIPOTLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Tofu With Hot Chipotle Barbecue Sauce image

Instead of throwing out the adobo sauce that canned chipotle peppers are packed in, use it for this sauce. You can marinate the tofu in it for an extra-hot dish, or just brush it on cooked or uncooked tofu. This makes enough for a pound of tofu.
