Crispy Tofu Tortilla Wraps are an easy Plant-Based lunch or dinner Recipe. Suitable for meal-prep, and ready in just 30 minutes!
The past few days it feels Summer is slowly coming to a close. Mornings turned misty and have a chill to them. This morning it was only 12°C (53.6°F). The tomatoes are almost done, which is surprisingly fast, as usually we’d have tomatoes riping into September. The birds have started gathering, which is also uncommonly soon. Even the cat eats more as if preparing for winter.
I hope I am mistaken, but it just feels like fall is rushing in, and way too soon, too. I don’t want Summer to be over yet.
We’ve been enjoying our summer produce and meals a lot, just eating off the garden. It’s a joy to be able to walk a couple of steps, pick whatever is ripe, and cook with it. And as our garden is not large by any means, that means it produces just enough for the two of us.
One of our favorite Summer meals to eat is tortilla wraps, as they are versatile and you can just toss in whatever you have.
So, having a tomato, some lettuce, and bell pepper, we wrapped that up along with some fried tofu and avocado to enjoy some Crispy Tofu Tortilla Wraps.
As I mentioned, wraps are easy and fun to make, taste delicious, and are ready to eat in minutes.
To make these Crispy Tofu Tortilla Wraps you start with prepping your tofu. We used extra-firm tofu that is ready to use as-is, but if you don’t have extra-firm tofu, you may want to press it first, to drain out excess liquids.
Next, we sliced the tofu, seasoned it (don’t forget to season it as otherwise, it will taste bland!) and tossed it in chickpea flour, then we pan-fried it until golden in color and crispy.
We sliced up a tomato, a bell pepper, a red onion, shredded some lettuce, and mashed one avocado.
The last step is to heat up your tortillas lightly, so they are easily to fold and work with.
All that remains at this point is to assemble your wraps!
Spread the mashed avocado over a tortilla, top with vegetables and tofu, then fold it in a wrap. We like to first close in the sides, then we pull the side closer to us over the toppings and roll it in until we have a nice, firm wrap. Lastly, we cut the tortillas in half to expose the fillings and make it easier to eat by hand, but you can even toast the whole wrap up and then just eat it with utensils as civilized people do.
