Ingredients

Scale

1, 454 gram block of super firm tofu, pat dry
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 tsp adobo seasoning
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3 tablespoons adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral oil
Salt
2 tsp oil
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of half lime
1/3 cup vegan mayo or thick plain unsweetened plant based yogurt
1 chipotle pepper, finely minced
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 clove garlic, grated
Juice of half lime
2 tsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp dry oregano
3 large burrito sized flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using the large holes of a box grater, shred the tofu directly onto the sheet.
  2. To the shredded tofu, add 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, cornstarch, adobo sauce, adobo seasoning, coriander, a generous pinch of salt, and 1 1/2 tbsp oil. Toss to coat thoroughly. Spread into a single layer.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove, flip/stir the tofu, then bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
  4. While tofu bakes, heat 2 tsp oil in a pan. Sauté sliced pepper and onion with a pinch of salt until softened. Remove from heat and toss with lime juice.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, minced chipotle, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, grated garlic, lime juice, maple syrup, oregano, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Warm a tortilla in a dry pan for 30 sec. Spread sauce on half. Top with crispy tofu, pepper-onion mix, and more sauce. Fold over.
  7. Cook the filled wrap in the pan for 2-3 minutes per side until tortilla is browned and crisp. Repeat. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • For crispier tofu, ensure it’s in a single, non-overlapping layer on the baking sheet.
  • The chipotle sauce can be made spicier by adding more minced chipotle or a pinch of cayenne.
  • Leftover components store well separately for up to 3 days. Assemble and cook wraps fresh for best texture.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.
