For the Tofu Filling

  • 2 each Chipotle Peppers Adds heat and smokiness; substitute with smoked paprika and chili powder for less spice.
  • 1 teaspoon Adobo Seasoning Enhances flavor; feel free to swap these for your favorite seasoning salt.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Helps crisp the tofu by absorbing moisture.
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast Brings umami and cheesy flavor; can be substituted with soy sauce if needed.
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Mayo Acts as a creamy base in the sauce; plain unsweetened yogurt can substitute.
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic Use minced garlic for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Brightens the sauce and balances the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Adds a touch of sweetness.
For the Veggie Mix
  • 1 cup Onions Use any variety based on preference.
  • 1 cup Peppers Feel free to mix in your favorite types.
For the Wraps

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Shred the super firm tofu using a box grater until finely shredded.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded tofu with nutritional yeast, cornstarch, chipotle sauce, and your chosen seasonings. Spread this mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the tofu for 15 minutes. Carefully flip the tofu with a spatula and return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  4. While the tofu bakes, heat a tablespoon of oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add diced onions and peppers, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  5. Just before finishing, stir in a splash of fresh lime juice and set aside the veggie mix.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, a chipotle pepper, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, maple syrup, dry oregano, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Spread a layer of chipotle mayo on one half of each tortilla, then layer with crispy tofu and sautéed veggies.
  8. Fold the tortillas over and press gently to secure the filling. Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle a tiny bit of oil.
  9. Add the assembled wraps and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
