  • ½ cup Shredded Vegan Cheese (optional)

• Creamy Spicy Sauce

  • ⅓ cup vegan mayo

  • 1-2 tsp hot sauce, to taste

Preparation

1. Prepare the Tofu

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • Slice the pressed tofu into strips.

   • In a shallow bowl, mix the cornmeal with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, a pinch of cayenne, salt, and black pepper.

   • Toss the tofu strips in the seasoned cornmeal until evenly coated.

   • Place the coated tofu strips on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

2. Make the Creamy Spicy Sauce

   • In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayo, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika.

   • Taste and adjust the seasoning or spice level as desired.

3. Assemble the Wraps

   • Lay a tortilla flat and spread 1–2 tsp of the creamy spicy sauce in the center.

   • Add shredded lettuce, a few slices of tomato, a slice of vegan cheese, and 2–3 pieces of baked tofu.

   • Fold the tortilla into a wrap: fold the bottom up, then fold the sides inward.

4. Optional Step: Toast the Wraps

   • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the wraps for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and sealed.
