Spicy Tofu Wraps Recipe | Easy Vegan Dinner

I present to you: the tofu wraps that actually made me like tofu. These spicy tofu wraps are full of flavor and an easy vegan dinner recipe, that you comes with a simple meal prep option.

I remember the first time I tried tofu. It was inside a Thai coconut curry I shared with a friend. That friend wasn’t vegan but was hyping it up as if it was warm white bread and worth eating.

I spit that tofu out the minute it touched my tongue. So mushy, soft and tasteless. It doesn’t taste like chicken or anything a human should eat. That day I worked my way around that tofu and moved on hungry with my day. The respect I had for my friend disappeared.

Flash forward 15 years later I’m making tofu at home. And I don’t throw up in my mouth. My taste buds actually celebrate right now and I’m salivating. A lot.

How To Make Tofu Taste Good?

Now, to be fair, this time I didn’t keep the tofu soft and tasteless. I had to do many bad things to it:

• sliced it thinly into gazillion pieces,
• stir-fried those in a pan with some olive oil or if you’re not using olive oil for frying – coconut oil will work as well
• drowned that thing in spices
• added garlic and onion
• suddenly it had texture and taste.

The magic of processing food until it’s unrecognizable. It did not disappoint, even for tofu.

How To Make Spicy Tofu Wraps.

Now that you’ve beaten your tofu to death, it’s time to wrap it in a tortilla with some fresh and healthy stuff:

• use your favorite vegetables – I used some spinach, roasted red peppers, olives, lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes
• add this avocado sauce that makes me want to cry tears of joy
• slap some cashew garlic sauce on top of it all
• wrap
• eat

It was so unbelievable. Really good, guys, you have to try it.

Plus, if we ignore the fact that tofu’s transformation took a million degrees, some stir-frying and a ton of spices – these wraps are also healthy.

Meal Prep Option

You can also make these wraps ahead. Simply keep all separate parts, well separate. Prepare the tofu, the cashew sauce, the avocado sauce and the vegetables in a separate container. Make sure to use whole cherry tomatoes, since sliced tomatoes go bad quickly.

Then assemble, when you’re going to eat.
