Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 block firm tofu, pressed and cut into strips
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (ensure it’s halal-certified)
• 2 cups shredded red cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large gluten-free tortillas

Instructions:

1. Press the tofu to remove excess water, ensuring it will absorb the marinade better.
2. In a bowl, combine the tofu strips with half of the barbecue sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the tofu marinates, prepare the coleslaw by mixing the shredded cabbage, carrots, cilantro, vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss well to combine.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tofu strips and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
5. Warm the gluten-free tortillas in another skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
6. To assemble the wraps, place a generous amount of coleslaw in the center of each tortilla, followed by a few pieces of the cooked tofu. Drizzle additional barbecue sauce on top.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to create a tight wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
8. Serve immediately, and enjoy the vibrant mix of smoky, tangy, and fresh flavors!

Helpful Tips:

• Your tofu will have a better texture if pressed for at least 30 minutes.
• For a spicier kick, add a squeeze of sriracha or sprinkle some chili flakes into the coleslaw mix.
• If you prefer a crunchier wrap, toast the assembled wraps lightly in a skillet for a minute on each side.

Storage Instructions:

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat slightly in the microwave or a skillet before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions:

If gluten-free tortillas aren’t available, you can use whole wheat or regular flour tortillas. For added protein, you might also substitute tofu with tempeh.

Pairings:

Serve these delicious BBQ Tofu Wraps with a side of sweet potato fries and a refreshing mint lemonade or iced tea for a complete meal that’s perfect for summer gatherings.
