Chipotle Mac-n-Cheese is a fun twist on a family favorite. The smokiness of the chipotle, chilies, and tomatoes is a perfect compliment to cheesy goodness.
Chipotle Mac-n-Cheese Recipe
If your family loves mac-n-cheese, then this is a recipe you must try. I will admit, this is actually the first time I have ever handmade mac-n-cheese, you know – without “powder cheese” and a box. The chilies and tomatoes add a bit of spice, and the secret ingredient, Nasoya Chipotle TofuBaked, adds smokiness and protein. The Chipotle TofuBaked is already pre-seasoned, so all you have to do is dice it up! All the flavor you need is already baked in.
You don’t need too many ingredients and only about 30 minutes to make this Chipotle Mac-n-Cheese Recipe from start to finish. Easy and delicious…those are my favorite kinda meals 🙂
Once you have your cheese melted, you simply add in the veggies, the Chipotle TofuBaked and your pre-cooked noodles and that’s it!

- 1 package of Nasoya Chipotle TofuBaked
- 1 small can diced green chilis drained
- 1/4 can Garlic fire roasted diced tomatoes drained – approx. 4 – 5 oz.

- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour

- 2 cups 2% milk
- Cook pasta to al dente (approx. 7 min), shock in cold water, drain and set aside
- In a large sauce pot, combine butter and flour
- Cook on medium, stirring until smooth and slightly toasted
- Slowly add milk while stirring
- Continue to simmer until sauce is bubbly
- Stir in cheese until melted and smooth
- While cheese is hot, stir in green chilis, TofuBaked, and fire roasted tomatoes and drained pasta
- Gently stir until well mixed
- Enjoy!
I am happy to say, that my kids ate this too! They are the type that are afraid of anything that looks like a vegetable, so they picked out the tomatoes, but they said that the flavor of the mac-n-cheese was great!
I hope you and your family enjoy this Chipotle Mac-n-cheese Recipe as much as we do!

I had mac & cheese for dinner last night with corkscrews!
My husband would love this!
This is so easy and great! I’m always looking for easy Mac & Cheese recipes cos my son lives for it! Lol, I may omit the green chiles cos anything with a hint of spice and he backs away, unless it’s guacamole. Go figure. I’ll definitely test this out though and I love the spiral noodles you choose. Those are my favorites.
That looks Amazing! I wish I had a not so shabby bowl for breakfast!
Looks pretty good. Never had tofu that way.
Looks good! Love chipotle! Thanks for sharing
