Ingredients
Coleslaw
- 14 oz coleslaw mix (7 cups or 420g)
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo, (77g)
- 2 tbsp agave nectar, or maple syrup
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Barbecue Tofu
- 2 blocks tofu, firm, extra firm, or super firm
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup bbq sauce, (150g)
Wraps
- 6 large tortillas
- 1/4 of a small red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Tofu
- If time permits, freeze the tofu blocks the night before. Defrost them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. This creates a dense texture but it's just fine to skip to the next step.
- Puncture the packages and squeeze out the extra liquid. Wrap the tofu in a kitchen towel and press them with a heavy pan or tofu press for 20 minutes.
Make the Coleslaw
- Mix the vegan mayo, agave, apple cider vinegar, dijon, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Add the coleslaw mix to it and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for now so the flavors can deepen.
Make the BBQ Tofu
- Tear the tofu into bite-sized pieces of varying sizes into a large bowl. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch over it. Stir to coat the pieces.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the tofu when it's hot. Let the tofu cook for 10-12 minutes to cook off most of the excess moisture, stirring occasionally.
- Once the tofu has some crispy edges, turn the heat off and stir in the bbq sauce.
Assemble the Wraps
- Add 1/3 cup of tofu to the slight off-center of a large tortilla. Add another drizzle of bbq sauce on top. Top this with coleslaw, red onions, and a few fresh cilantro leaves.
- Cover this filling with one end of the tortilla. Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center then roll toward the long end until the wrap is sealed. Enjoy!

Notes
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.
