About the Recipe

Always good to press your tofu for 15 minutes to get that excess moisture out which will get your tofu nice and crispy.

I have used a healthy oil pesto here, you can always blitz your own in a food processor though! Just use 1 cup basil leaves, 1/4 cup walnuts or pine nuts, 2 Tbs nutritional yeast, 1 clove garlic, lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt and pepper.

Ingredients

Ingredients:


Tofu:


  • 1 block firm tofu, pressed and crumbled

  • 3 Tbs good oil DF pesto

  • 2 Tbs almond flour

  • Drizzle of olive oil


Wraps:


  • Iceberg lettuce cups

  • Any salad - shredded carrot, cucumber, avocado


Dressing:


  • 1 Tbs pesto

  • 1 Tbs coconut yoghurt

  • Lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat oven 200 C


2. Tossing your crumbled tofu with the pesto and add to oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle over the almond flour then a little olive oil. Bake until lovely and golden. Toss half way (approx 15 minutes in)


3. Meanwhile make your dressing, mix the ingredients together then season to taste and adjust accordingly.


4. Once tofu is done assemble the wraps with salad, tofu and dressing. Top with fresh herbs.
