Ingredients

Tofu and Marinade

  • 1 block extra firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Coating and Wraps

  • 2 cups bread crumbs* (or crushed potato chips)
  • 4 large wraps (tortillas recommended)

Veggies and Toppings

  • 1 head romaine, chopped
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • Red onion, thinly sliced
  • Cilantro, chopped
  • Vegan ranch** to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tofu marinade: Thinly slice the pressed tofu into 8 pieces. In a shallow dish, combine buffalo sauce, unsweetened non-dairy milk, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, smoked paprika, and pepper. Submerge the tofu pieces in this marinade, pressing down to ensure full coverage. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
  2. Coat the tofu: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove tofu pieces from the marinade one at a time, then dip each thoroughly into the bread crumbs or crushed potato chips, pressing crumbs firmly onto the tofu so they adhere well. Place the coated tofu pieces evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Cook the tofu: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Working in batches, air fry the tofu for 10 minutes until crispy and golden. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and bake the tofu for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until nicely browned and crisp.
  4. Prepare the salad: While the tofu cooks, place the chopped romaine into a large bowl and drizzle vegan ranch dressing over it. Toss well to evenly coat all the leaves with the creamy dressing.
  5. Warm the wraps: Lightly heat the tortilla wraps in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable, making them easier to roll.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Lay each warm wrap flat and arrange a layer of the ranch-coated romaine down the center. Top with chopped avocado, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Place two slices of the crispy buffalo tofu over the veggies. Drizzle additional buffalo sauce and vegan ranch on top for extra flavor.
  7. Roll and serve: Carefully roll up each wrap tightly, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately while the tofu is warm and crispy. Enjoy with extra buffalo sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • *For the breading, crushed potato chips can be used instead of traditional bread crumbs to add extra crunch and flavor.
  • **Homemade Vegan Ranch: Blend 1/2 cup vegan mayo, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon dried chives, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, and water as needed until smooth and pourable.
  • ***If baking instead of air frying, preheat oven to 400°F and bake tofu on a parchment-lined sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
