Sofritas Chipotle Potato Skins
Sofritas are sautéed peppers, onions and garlic. Combined with crushed tofu and the soft fluffy flesh of baked potatoes and stuffed into potato skins, ummm can you say YUM? Sofritas stuffed potato skins are a spicy, savory, meaty tailgating treat that will be a big hit! Whether you're watching the game at home or having a parking lot picnic before the game, this is a tasty bite everyone will love!
October is officially Tailgating month! Last year I offered up Lambeau Leap Beer Brats - gotta love a great brat slow cooked with onions and garlic, bathed in beer and grilled.
My colleague from Life Currents heads up this campaign. She's offered up many tasty bites - the latest was Pizza Pull Apart Bread that looks AMAZING! and there are many additional food bloggers participating.
If you're looking for inspiration just use the hashtag #TailgatingSnacks - you'll see GREAT ideas for super easy game day grub!
So this year I'm sharing an amazing Sofritas Chipotle Potato Skins Recipe! The sofritas are stuffed inside a potato skin, but you can also enjoy the sofritas in a bowl, inside a burrito, taco - you name it Sofritas are a spicy, tasty dream!
Here's a close up of the Sofritas, they have amazing flavor - big spice but not too hot. Stuffed inside potato skins super yummy for tailgating food or tossed on a salad your everyday dinner. These are simple to prepare.
