Ingredients
- Extra-firm tofu (1 block, pressed and cubed)
- Buffalo sauce (1/2 cup)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
- Paprika (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Whole wheat tortillas (4 large)
- Lettuce (1 cup, shredded)
- Tomato (1, diced)
- Red onion (1/2, thinly sliced)
- Vegan ranch dressing (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Step 1: Press the Tofu
Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain excess liquid. Wrap the tofu block in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Place a heavy object on top to press the tofu and remove moisture for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Buffalo Sauce
In a bowl, mix together hot sauce, melted vegan butter, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 3: Cut the Tofu
After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes or strips according to your preference.
Step 4: Coat the Tofu
Toss the tofu pieces in the buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5: Bake the Tofu
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
Step 6: Assemble the Wrap
While the tofu is baking, prepare your wrap. Lay a tortilla flat and add your choice of vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado.
Step 7: Add the Buffalo Tofu
Once the tofu is done baking, add the crispy buffalo tofu on top of the vegetables in the wrap.
Step 8: Drizzle with Extra Sauce
If desired, drizzle additional buffalo sauce over the tofu for extra flavor.
Step 9: Roll the Wrap
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Cut the wrap in half if desired, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious buffalo tofu wrap!
Notes
Ensure Proper Tofu Pressing
Pressing the tofu is essential for achieving a crispy texture. Make sure to use enough weight to remove sufficient moisture.
Customize Your Vegetables
Feel free to add or substitute vegetables based on your preference. Crunchy vegetables like carrots and bell peppers work well.
Storage Recommendations
Leftover buffalo tofu can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
