Ingredients:

  • 1 - 2 heads romaine lettuce

  • 1 block extra firm tofu

  • 1 - 2 avocados

  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos

  • 1 teaspoon agave

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon oil (olive or grape seed)

  • juice from 1 lime

  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Smokey lime cream sauce

  • 1/3 cup vegan sour cream, or plain unsweetened vegan yogurt (I use Kite Hill plain yogurt)

  • Juice from 1/2 lime

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Drain tofu and wrap in a a clean kitchen towel or a few clean paper towels. Place a few cookbooks on top for 10 - 15 minutes to press out as much liquid from the tofu as you can. Once pressed, dice tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.

  2. In a shallow 8x8 dish, whisk together the aminos, oil, agave, garlic, paprika, and lime juice. Add the cubed tofu to the dish and allow it to marinate for 10 - 15 minutes.

  3. While tofu is marinading, wash and pat dry the lettuce, and trim the ends. Slice avocado into thin strips. Wash and chop 1/3 cup of cilantro.

  4. Prepare the smokey lime cream sauce by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

  5. Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Spray with some cooking oil or add a few teaspoons of oil to the pan as it heats. Add the tofu AND the marinade to the pan. Allow the tofu to cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and the tofu has started to brown and get a little crispy around the edges.

  6. To build the wraps, line each lettuce leaf pieces of tofu, a few slices of avocado, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro.

Serves 4 - 6.
