Sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
Sriracha Mayo
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo or thick unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- Salt to taste
Pickled Veggies
- 3/4 cup shredded cabbage
- 3/4 cup shredded carrots
- Juice of half a lime
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar or maple syrup
Assembly
- 3/4 cup greens of choice
- Cilantro, optional
- 3 burrito wraps
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tofu: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Crumble or shred the tofu using a box grater over a parchment-lined baking sheet. In a bowl, toss the shredded tofu with avocado oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until coated. Spread the tofu in a single even layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake Tofu: Place the tofu in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Flip the tofu pieces and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden and slightly crispy.
- Prepare Pickled Vegetables: While the tofu bakes, combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a storage container. Add lime juice, salt, and sugar or maple syrup. Toss thoroughly to coat, then cover and set aside to marinate.
- Make Sriracha Mayo: In a separate container or jar, whisk together vegan mayo, sriracha, lime juice, maple syrup, and salt to taste. Adjust seasonings if needed and set aside.
- Prepare Stir-Fry Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, grated garlic, grated ginger, optional sesame oil, and vegetable broth. Pour this mixture into a pan set over medium-low heat.
- Thicken Sauce: In the same bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and whisk until smooth. Add this slurry to the pan. Stir continuously as the sauce warms up and thickens, bubbling gently.
- Toss Tofu in Sauce: Once the sauce has thickened, add the baked tofu to the pan. Toss well to thoroughly coat the tofu in the sauce, then remove the pan from heat.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a burrito wrap flat. Spread a spoonful of the sriracha mayo over the wrap. Top with a layer of greens, followed by pickled veggies, a pinch of cilantro if using, and one-third of the tofu mixture. Roll the wrap tightly into a burrito shape.
- Optional Toasting: To enhance texture and flavor, lightly toast the assembled wraps in a dry pan over medium heat, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side until warm and slightly crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure to pat the tofu very dry before shredding and baking.
- You can substitute tamari with regular soy sauce if not gluten-sensitive.
- Adjust sriracha and maple syrup quantities in the mayo to control heat and sweetness levels.
- Serve wraps immediately for best texture or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
- Optional sesame oil in the sauce adds a nice nutty aroma but can be omitted.
- Use gluten-free tamari and wraps to make the recipe gluten-free.
