BBQ Tofu Wraps

These vegan BBQ Tofu Wraps are so easy to make and a meal that everyone will love! Saucy barbecue tofu shreds are topped with a crunchy homemade coleslaw and then wrapped in your favorite tortilla. They are perfect for summer parties or busy weeknights!

These irresistible barbecue wraps check all the boxes! They are high in protein, loaded with veggies, crunchy yet soft, full of flavor, and incredibly filling!

Classic barbecue wraps are made with chicken or pulled pork. This one is completely vegan! The tasty tofu is crisped up right in the pan before being smothered in delicious barbecue sauce.

The homemade coleslaw is very easy to make and, of course, customizable. I like to add a quick, tangy dressing to it and toss it in the fridge while I make the tofu.

The tofu is cooked in garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch for a flavorful, crispy bite. Then add your favorite bbq sauce for a spicy, sweet, and tangy bite!

For the tortillas, simply use whatever you prefer. I like to get the basic large tortillas, but low-carb, gluten-free, whole wheat, spinach, or lettuce wraps all work.

These vegan tofu wraps would go really well with Vegan Cheese Curds, Vegan Jalapeño Popper Dip, Vegan Mac and Cheese Without Cashews, and Vegan Pear Crumble.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Coleslaw

• Coleslaw - Use a bag of coleslaw mix from the grocery store or simply shred carrots and cabbage if you have them on hand!
• Vegan Mayo - I like Hellmann’s vegan mayonnaise.
• Agave - Either agave nectar or maple syrup add a nice touch of sweetness.
• Apple Cider Vinegar - This adds the tang. White vinegar works as well.
• Dijon Mustard - Spicy or regular mustard can be used instead.
• Seasoning - Just a bit of salt and pepper are needed.

BBQ Tofu

• Tofu - Use firm, extra firm, or super firm tofu.
• Oil - I prefer olive or avocado oil here, but feel free to use any cooking oil.
• Seasoning - Some garlic powder and paprika are delicious on the tofu.
• Cornstarch - This helps add some crispness to the tofu. Arrowroot powder or tapioca starch can be used instead. 
• Barbecue Sauce - Use your favorite. I love Stubb’s from Austin, Texas. Just make sure that it doesn't contain honey to keep it vegan.

Wraps

• Tortillas - Use extra large tortillas of any kind. 
• Onion - I think red onion goes really well here, but any other variety are just as good. 
• Cilantro - Such a delicious herb here. Feel free to use parsley instead.

How to Make BBQ Tofu Wraps

Here are some quick visual steps. Find the full recipe with exact measurements on the recipe card below.

If you have time, freeze the tofu blocks the night before and defrost them in the microwave when ready. 

I like to freeze my tofu blocks for a dense-like texture. Although, you can absolutely skip this step if needed and the barbecue tofu will be just as delicious. Just simply drain and press them for a few minutes.

Mix the coleslaw and homemade dressing together and then chill this while you make the tofu.

Break the tofu up into pieces and then coat it with the seasoning and cornstarch. 

Cook the tofu in a pan to dry out the excess moisture and to form some crispness. Then, take it off of the heat and stir in the barbecue sauce.

Assemble the wraps with the tofu, more sauce, coleslaw, raw onions, and cilantro.

Roll them up by folding the end closest to you over. Tuck the sides in and roll the tortilla until it's closed. Keep the wrap seem-side down or shut with your hands as you enjoy! 

Recipe Variation Ideas

• Make spicy tofu wraps with fresh jalapeños. 
• Toast the assembled wraps in a pan for even more flavor. 
• Reduce the carbs by using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.

No-Waste Ideas

• Make Egg Roll In A Bowl with leftover coleslaw.
• Cook Just Egg Breakfast Burritos with the rest of the tortillas.
• Use some of the remaining barbecue sauce for Vegan BBQ Pizza.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover tofu and coleslaw in separate dishes. When ready, reheat the barbecue tofu in the microwave before assembling the wraps.
