Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Tortillas (large, vegan)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 large Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Cut it into strips about 1/2-inch thick.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the tofu strips to the marinade, stirring gently to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Lay the marinated tofu strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy and golden brown.
While the tofu is baking, wash the romaine lettuce, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice the avocado.
In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with lemon juice and chopped cilantro to make a creamy dressing.
Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the oven.
To assemble the wraps, spread 1 tablespoon of the creamy dressing on each tortilla.
Layer with romaine lettuce, red bell pepper strips, sliced avocado, and the crispy tofu.
Sprinkle a little salt over the filled wraps, then roll them up tightly.
Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while the tofu is still warm.
