- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegan buffalo sauce

- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- Juice of half a small lemon
For the Vegan Ranch Sauce
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp vegan plain unsweetened yogurt
- 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dry dill
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 tbsp water to thin
To Assemble
- Shredded lettuce
- Flatbread, pita, or gluten-free wraps
- Sliced scallions
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Break the pressed tofu into 1-inch chunks and place them in a bowl. Add soy sauce (or coconut aminos), avocado oil, cornstarch, thyme, and black pepper. Toss everything well to evenly coat the tofu pieces.
- Bake the Tofu: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the tofu chunks in a single layer. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
- Make the Sauces: While the tofu is baking, prepare the homemade sauces. In separate jars, mix the ingredients for the buffalo tahini sauce until smooth: tahini, hot sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Then, prepare the vegan ranch sauce by combining tahini, vegan yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, dry dill, and salt, adding water a tablespoon at a time until achieving desired creaminess.
- Toss Tofu in Buffalo Sauce: Once the tofu is baked and crispy, transfer it to a bowl and toss with the prepared vegan buffalo sauce until well coated.
- Assemble the Wraps: Warm your choice of flatbread, pita, or gluten-free wrap. Spread a generous amount of vegan ranch sauce over the bread, add a layer of shredded lettuce, then spoon on some buffalo tofu. Drizzle extra buffalo or ranch sauce if desired. Finish by sprinkling sliced scallions and fresh parsley over the top. Roll up or fold the wrap and serve immediately.
