Now make the tofu filling. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the onions begin to brown.

Next, add the chipotles, and sauté. Then crumble the tofu you pressed into the skillet. Break up any large chunks with a spatula.

Sauté the tofu, until it begins to brown.  Now, add the adobo sauce, all the spices and the vegetable broth. Then add a pinch of salt and pepper.

Continue sautéing for another 5-6 minutes. The broth will be absorbed and you will have a nice spicy filling. Turn the heat off, but leave on the stove to keep warm.

Now, make the cheese sauce. In a sauce pan, heat the vegan butter. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux and simmer.
