Buffalo Tofu Wraps

• Extra firm block of tofu (pressed for best crispiness)

• Cornstarch

• Unsweetened, plain non-dairy milk

• Garlic powder

• Salt

• Buffalo sauce (choose your preferred spice level)

• Romaine lettuce (chopped)

• Matchstick carrots

• Vegan shredded cheddar

• Avocado (sliced)

• Large tortillas or gluten-free wraps

Easy Healthy Vegan Ranch

• Plain, unsweetened almond milk yogurt

• Lemon juice

• Vinegar

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Salt

• Fresh dill and parsley (or dried substitutes)

Directions

1. Press tofu for at least 10 minutes (ideally 30 minutes) to remove excess moisture.

2. Preheat oven to 400 °F (204 °C).

3. Slice tofu into 3–4-inch strips (~1.5–2 in thick).

4. Mix cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt on a plate. Place non-dairy milk in a separate bowl. Dip tofu in milk, then coat in cornstarch mixture.

5. Bake tofu on a parchment-lined sheet for 25 minutes, flipping halfway for an even crisp. (Or air-fry at 400 °F for 10 minutes, flip, then 5 more minutes.)

6. Dip tofu strips in buffalo sauce, let excess drip off, then return to baking sheet and bake an additional 5 minutes (or air-fry 2–3 minutes).

7. For the ranch, whisk together almond yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and onion powders, salt, dill, and parsley until combined.

8. Build your wrap: Spread ranch on the tortilla, then layer with romaine, carrots, vegan cheddar, avocado, and 3 buffalo tofu strips.

9. Roll tightly by folding in the ends and rolling up. Optional: Pan-grill the wrap briefly for added crisp.

FAQs

1. How do I make tofu crispy?

Use extra-firm tofu, press it well, coat in cornstarch, and bake or air-fry at high temperature.

2. Is the wrap spicy?

It has a mild kick balanced by creamy avocado and ranch. Opt for milder buffalo sauce if you prefer less heat.

3. Is this wrap healthy?

Yes—it features plant-based protein, veg, and a yogurt-based ranch without oil, though buffalo sauce is higher in sodium.

4. Can I meal prep this wrap?

Absolutely—assemble up to 2 days ahead, but pack the ranch separately.

5. What can I add to the wrap?

Try red onions, bell peppers, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

6. Can I use dried herbs in the ranch?

Yes—substitute 1 tsp dried parsley or dill for 1 tbsp fresh.

7. Can I skip pressing the tofu?

You can, but pressing (even for 10 minutes) yields much better crispiness.

8. Can I buy vegan ranch instead?

Yes—brands like Follow Your Heart, Daiya, Primal Kitchen, or Only Plant Based work well.

9. Can I use mayo instead of almond yogurt?

Yes—for a richer flavor, mix in vegan mayo. The recipe uses yogurt for a lighter, healthier version.

10. How can I reduce carbs?

Swap tortillas for large lettuce leaves or serve as a bowl over romaine.
