The sofritas at Chipotle definitely have a bit of a kick. They're made with chili peppers, after all. And if you eat them straight out of the container, you might find yourself reaching for a glass of water. For my copycat version, sofritas is mellowed out by other ingredients like maple syrup and lime juice. This makes it pretty mild. So while they're not exactly bland, they're not too much to blow your head off either.  In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. If you can handle a little spice, then this dish is definitely worth trying. But if you're sensitive to heat, you might want to give it a pass.
