For the first time in its 20 year history, Chipotle is making a big change to its menu — by adding tofu. After a year-long testing period, the Mexican fast food chain will roll out Sofritas, the official name for the shredded organic tofu braised with poblanos, chipotle chiles, and spices, in its restaurants nationwide. The decision wasnt made lightly — Chipotles culinary manager Nate Appleman told Fast Company that they focused on making a product that tasted better than most other tofu out there, and preparing it with the best ingredients. The company partnered with soy producer Hodo Soy and worked with them to make their organic, GMO-free, soy-based protein into a tasty taco filling.
