Description
A spicy, crunchy tofu wrap paired with a tangy, herby vegan ranch, perfect for weeknight dinners or lunches on the go.
Ingredients
- 16 oz block extra firm tofu (drained and pressed)
- 1/3–1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened, plain)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (for the coating)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 2–3 cups romaine, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded vegan cheddar
- 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 large tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk yogurt (for ranch)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (for ranch)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt (for ranch)
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Slice pressed tofu into 3–4 inch long pieces about 1.5–2 inches thick.
- On a plate, mix cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt. Pour non-dairy milk into a shallow bowl.
- Dip each tofu strip into milk, then roll in cornstarch mixture. Lay strips on baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden. (For air-fryer, arrange in a single layer and fry at 400°F for 15 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, prepare the vegan ranch: whisk almond yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, dill, and parsley until smooth.
- Once tofu is crisp, dip each piece into buffalo sauce, then return to baking sheet.
- Bake an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze. (For air-fryer: air-fry for 2–3 more minutes.)
- Assemble the wrap: spread ranch on each tortilla, layer with romaine, carrots, cheddar, avocado, and three tofu strips.
- Roll the wrap tightly and optionally toast on a pan for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Press tofu well for a crunchy exterior. Swap chickpea flour for cornstarch for a nut-free option. Adjust lemon or salt to taste in the ranch.
