Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block (14-16 ounces) extra-firm tofu, pressed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter), melted
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup crumbled vegan or regular blue cheese (optional)
- For the Vegan Ranch Dressing:
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Tofu: Press extra-firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- 2. Bake or Pan-Fry Tofu: Toss tofu cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy, or pan-fry in a skillet until golden brown on all sides.
- 3. Make Buffalo Sauce: Whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- 4. Coat Tofu: Add the crispy tofu to the buffalo sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- 5. Prepare Ranch Dressing: In another bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- 6. Warm Tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas to make them pliable.
- 7. Assemble Wraps: Spread ranch dressing on a warm tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, carrots, celery, buffalo tofu, and blue cheese (if using).
- 8. Fold and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store components separately (tofu, veggies, dressing) in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat tofu separately for best texture. Assembled wraps are best eaten within 1-2 days.
