Ingredients

For the Tofu

  • 1 block 14 oz extra firm tofu, drained and frozen
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup panko style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ¼ cup soy sauce

For making the wraps

  • Flour tortillas
  • Avocado slices
  • Lemon slices
  • Roma tomatoes
  • spinach

Instructions

  • Drain the tofu and press for 5 minutes between a dish towel. Use a plate or other heavy object . You will not get a ton of liquid out yet.
  • Place the tofu block in an airtight ziploc bag and place in the freezer at least overnight. Freezing tofu changes the texture in a great way!
  • Once the tofu is frozen, place it on a microwave safe plate. Microwave the block in 2-3 minutes increments, flipping sides, until the tofu is no longer frozen.
  • Press the tofu again while on the plate with something heavy on top. You will get a lot of liquid this time. Get as much out as possible
  • Cut the tofu in half widthwise, then cut into strips (see photos in the post) You will get 8 strips total.
  • Place the tofu strips in an 8 by 8 baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil and soy sauce over the top of the tofu and let it sit and marinate while you prepare the other ingredients
  • In a bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, flour, cumin, garlic powder, minced onion, basil, paprika, and salt until combined
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Take a tofu strip and rub it around in the soy sauce, then dip it in the flour/spice mixture until coated, then place on the parchment paper lined baking sheet
  • Repeat until all the tofu strips are coated. Press some additional breading mixture into the tops of the tofu as needed
  • Bake the tofu for 15 minutes at 425 degrees
  • Flip the tofu over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until browned and crispy on the edges
  • To assemble the tofu wraps, first heat the flour tortilla for 10-15 seconds in the microwave. This will make it easier to fold.
  • Place 1-2 strips of tofu on the tortilla, and add the avocado slices, tomato slices, spinach, and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Roll the tortilla up and serve immediately
