Chipotle Sofritas Tortilla Casserole

Chipotle Sofritas Tortilla Casserole = stringy cheese and soft corn tortillas and saucy tofu, oh my. ♡

This is the most delicious basic food of my dreams.

–> Remember how I am a food blogger and then I did a snap story about how I eat frozen foods sometimes?

Are you mad about it? Or are you thinking that you might need to try some Amy’s Organic Tortilla Casserole, too? Please tell me you’ve had it. I feel like you have because we generally land on the same page with these things.

*MOST* frozen food is neither good-tasting or good for you, so let’s just get that out of the way right from the start. I get it, I know. I’ve tried a few new brands lately that were so bad that I had to just throw the food straight in the garbage, which hurts my heart in a big way, but wow. Some of this stuff is scary-gross.

But for the stuff that DOES taste good and IS actually decently good for you all things considered, I think you know how it goes. These meals become a complete go-to when the going gets rough. “Going gets rough” can be defined as coming home from 10 days abroad to an almost-empty fridge (hiii my life right now) or it can mean that life is life and the Bachelor is on and the actual food that you bought to actually make an actual recipe – IT’S ALL JUST TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW, MAN.

I think you get it. Sometimes it just becomes necessary to have your food (for example, Chipotle Sofritas Tortilla Casserole) already made, already delicious, ready to love you right where you are. On the couch. In your sweats.

I do have a life, tho.

Let’s talk about something redeeming, like the fact that this is a take on one of my favorite frozen meals (Amy’s Organic Tortilla Casserole!!!) but homemade. Winning! Winning big time. This is real, feel-good, easy HOMEMADE frozen food. I mean, you don’t have to freeze it, but WHY WOULDN’T YOU?

I stuck this in the freezer before we boarded a plane to the Philippines for ten days, and guess what? We got home yesterday and I walked into the kitchen, reached into the freezer, pulled this little guy right out, and popped it in the fridge to thaw. So with little to no groceries and zero work on my part, we get to eat nutritious, cozy HOMEMADE food even when we’re bone-tired from 30+ hours of travel. Life is just beautiful sometimes, isn’t it?

You can add or subtract things from this as you like – I like to have it with the usual suspects, including but not limited to a side of black beans and a few slices (or five hundred) of avocado on top. If I were feeling really on top of my game, I would absolutely make Magic Green Sauce for topping. I mean, literal goosebumps right now. That spicy-cool combo is MIND BLOWING.

Fiery enchilada sauce, chipotle sofritas tofu, piles of soft corn tortilla strips, and our one and only CHEESE. Seriously, though. You need to get going.
