Ingredients

For the Buffalo Wraps:

• 16 oz block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
• 1/3 – 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened, plain)
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 2-3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese (such as Follow Your Heart)
• 1/2 cup matchstick carrots
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 4 large tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)

For the Easy (& Healthy!) Vegan Ranch:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk yogurt (plain)
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon of dried dill)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced (or 1 tsp dried)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Tofu:

• Press the tofu for approximately 15-20 minutes to eliminate any excess moisture.
• Cut it into bite-sized cubes.
• In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt.
• Coat the tofu cubes in this mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
• Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.
• Add the tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is crispy and golden on all sides.
• Once the tofu is crispy, remove it from the heat and toss it with the buffalo sauce to coat evenly.

2. Make the Vegan Ranch:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk yogurt, fresh lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, dill, and parsley until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• For a thicker consistency, refrigerate the ranch for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

3. Assemble the Wraps:

• Arrange the tortillas on a clean countertop.
• Add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce, shredded vegan cheddar cheese, matchstick carrots, and avocado slices onto each tortilla.
• Top with a generous portion of buffalo tofu and drizzle with the homemade vegan ranch.
• Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll them up tightly to form a wrap.

4. Serve:

• Cut the wraps in half and enjoy them right away.
• Enjoy with extra ranch on the side for dipping!
