Gently squeeze over the sink to remove as much excess water as possible. Break the tofu into 1- to 2-inch pieces. Stir tomato paste, adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, oregano and chili powder together in a small bowl; set aside. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu; cook, turning occasionally, until deeply browned on 2 to 3 sides, about 12 minutes. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until the onion softens slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste mixture and stir to coat. Add water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring often and breaking up the tofu with a spoon into bite-size pieces, until the tofu absorbs most of the sauce, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and salt. Tip Chipotles in adobo are dried and smoked jalapeños, canned in a tangy tomato-based sauce which can be used to add heat and smoky flavor. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container; they'll last for several weeks in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer. Find them with other Latin ingredients at your grocery store.
