Buffalo Tofu (optional)
Press tofu and cut into 4 equal slabs
In a refrigerator safe container, marinate in ½ cup of buffalo sauce (homemade or bottled)
Marinate overnight for best results
Grilling
Pre-heat grill to medium-low
Place a grill mat on the grill (you can also use a grill pan, or if you are careful, you can place the tofu directly on the grill.
Cook for about 8 minutes on each side
Remove from the grill and place back in the marinade until ready to use.
Then, cut it into strips or cubes
Baking
Simply follow the same pressing and marinating process.
Then, preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Place cut or uncut tofu on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper
Cook for 15 minutes
Remove from oven and flip tofu over; cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Air Frying
Simply follow the same pressing and marinating process.
Set air fryer temperature at 375 degrees
Cook 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times through the cooking process
Buffalo 'Chicken' (Alpha Grilled Strips)
In a skillet, pour the contents of the frozen grilled chik strips into the pan and cook over medium-low.
If the chik strips begin to stick use a small amount of water or vegetable broth; stir
When heated through, add ½ cup buffalo sauce.
Stir until combined.
Remove from heat and set aside.
VEGAN RANCH OR VEGAN BLUE CHEESE (Choose 1 or none)
Preparing the buffalo chicken wraps
Lay a tortilla on a flat surface
In the center, add ¼ of the buffalo tofu or chicken
Add ¼ of the onions, carrots, baby kale, and red bell peppers
Drizzle in the center with vegan ranch or vegan blue cheese
Then, add avocado slices
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, and food tightly, keeping the ingredients in the center of the tortilla.
Repeat the process, making 4 buffalo chicken wraps.
Place in the center of a skillet or panini maker seam side down (this will help seal the wrap together)
Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until brown. Flip over in the skillet. If using a panini maker, it will cook evenly without having the flip over.
Remove from the skillet/panini maker and cut in half.
I served with extra buffalo sauce and ranch/blue cheese
Also, I served with
baked tater tots
Nutrition information uses tofu.
Depending on your preference, the wrap can be served cold or hot. But, I like it hot, so I'm grilling my wraps today.
Similar to any of my grilled sandwiches, the buffalo chicken wrap can be cooked on the stove in a non-stick pan or I like my Cuisinart 5-1 Grill/Panini Maker.
Sometimes, depending on how many people I'm cooking for, I use both the pan and the panini maker, so all the sandwiches are ready at the same time.
