Step-by-Step Instructions for Making a Crispy Tofu Wrap

Step 1: Press and Prep the Tofu – Foundation for a Crispy Tofu Wrap

Start by draining the tofu and pressing it for 10–15 minutes using a tofu press or heavy pan. This removes excess moisture, which is key for a golden, crispy texture. Then cut it into cubes or strips depending on your preferred wrap style.

Step 2: Marinate in Sesame Teriyaki Sauce – Flavor Infusion for the Perfect Teriyaki Tofu

In a large mixing bowl, toss the tofu pieces gently with sesame teriyaki sauce until well coated. Let it marinate for 10–20 minutes to absorb that sweet, umami-packed flavor.

Step 3: Bake the Tofu – Creating a Grilled Tofu Wrap Texture

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread out the marinated tofu in a single layer, and bake for 25–30 minutes. Flip the tofu halfway through for even browning and crispy edges.

Step 4: Warm and Prep the Wrap Base – Building the Tofu and Vegetable Wrap

While the tofu bakes, warm your whole wheat tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. This helps with rolling and adds to the overall experience. Lay the tortilla flat and prep your fresh veggies: carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and green onions.

Step 5: Assemble, Garnish, and Serve – Your Final Vegan Teriyaki Wrap

Place the baked tofu over the veggies, drizzle with more sesame teriyaki sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds. For extra flair, add chili oil or more green onions. Fold the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, slice in half, and serve warm. Optional: serve with dipping sauce or pack for lunch.
