Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, drained and pressed

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 whole wheat tortillas or large lettuce leaves for wraps

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup vegan ranch dressing (or regular ranch, if not vegan)

1/4 cup sliced green onions

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once ready, cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.

    Coat the Tofu: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Carefully toss the tofu cubes in this dry mixture until each piece is evenly coated.

      Bake the Tofu: Place the coated tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the olive oil over the tofu and use a spatula to ensure an even coating of oil. Bake in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through the cooking time, until the tofu is golden brown and crispy.

        Buffalo Sauce Bath: Once the tofu is finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately transfer it to a mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the crispy tofu and toss it gently to ensure each piece is well-enveloped in the spicy sauce.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take the whole wheat tortillas or lettuce leaves and lay them flat. Start by placing a layer of shredded lettuce onto each wrap, followed by a generous scoop of the spicy buffalo tofu.

            Add Freshness: Enhance your wraps by adding diced tomatoes on top of the buffalo tofu. Drizzle with vegan ranch dressing, and finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions for added crunch and flavor.

              Wrap It Up: If using tortillas, fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely. For lettuce wraps, simply roll them like a burrito to keep the contents intact.

                Serve and Enjoy: Cut each wrap in half for easier handling and serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping. Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
