Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Firm Tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 4 pieces Whole Wheat Wraps
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Cucumber, julienned
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce
- 8 pieces Lettuce Leaves
Instructions
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture: Wrap the tofu block in paper towels and place a weight over it for about 10 minutes.
Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade, gently toss to coat, and allow it to soak for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the tofu becomes golden and slightly crispy. Set aside.
Warm the whole wheat wraps on another pan for about 20-30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Lay each wrap flat and place 2 lettuce leaves in the center of each.
Layer the cooked tofu, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, avocado, and fresh cilantro over the lettuce.
Drizzle with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce, sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to taste.
Fold the sides of the wrap slightly, then roll it tightly to form a wrap.
Repeat the process with the remaining wraps and fillings.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful dairy-free paneer alternative experience.
