Preparation

1. Prepare the Tofu

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • Slice the pressed tofu into strips.

   • In a shallow bowl, mix the cornmeal with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, a pinch of cayenne, salt, and black pepper.

   • Toss the tofu strips in the seasoned cornmeal until evenly coated.

   • Place the coated tofu strips on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

2. Make the Creamy Spicy Sauce

   • In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayo, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. Assemble the Wraps

   • Add shredded lettuce, a few slices of tomato, a slice of vegan cheese, and 2–3 pieces of baked tofu.
