These tofu wraps are easy to assemble, require inexpensive ingredients, and are both filling and delicious. For the wraps, you’ll need some tortillas or lettuce, then you’ll just fill them up with veggies, tofu, and, in some cases, a delicious peanut sauce. These are perfect meals for people on the go and for those who are health-conscious.

Tofu is a great way to get protein in your diet particularly if you are vegetarian or vegan. The peanut tofu on its own in this recipe is around 19g of Protein. Along with an extra 5g of Protein from the wrap! Tofu is also an excellent source of amino acids, iron, and other micronutrients! Although on its own it doesn’t have a strong flavor adding some things like this peanut sauce steps it up to a whole new level. This Peanut Tofu Wrap by Vicky Coates is spectacular!

6. Chile Tofu Lettuce Wraps with Smoked Salt

Here, strong red miso marinade adds bold flavor to tofu for tofu-lettuce wraps stuffed with bright, fresh herbs. You can use white miso instead, but the tofu will have a milder flavor. Sambal oelekis a garlic-chile paste that is commonly available in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets; if you can’t find it, use gochujang, a Korean red chile paste that is very flavorful but thicker and a little more intense than sambal oelek. The longer you let the tofu marinate, the more thoroughly the marinade will be absorbed, but 20 minutes is enough to get the flavor in! You have to try these Chile Tofu Lettuce Wraps with Smoked Salt by Raquel Pelzel!
