by

Enjoy a delicious and healthy vegan meal with these BBQ Tofu and Coleslaw Tortilla Wraps. Perfect for outdoor barbecues, they combine smoky tofu with crunchy coleslaw, all wrapped in soft tortillas for easy eating.

Ingredients Needed

  • 14 oz (400 g) firm tofu
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced red onions and fresh cilantro

Preparing the Tofu

Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into small cubes or strips. Toss the tofu pieces in BBQ sauce until well coated. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the tofu for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and slightly caramelized.

Making the Coleslaw

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until evenly coated. Add sliced red onions or cilantro if desired for extra flavor.

Assembling the Wraps

Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. Place a few pieces of BBQ tofu in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous amount of coleslaw. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to enclose the ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps immediately for the best flavor and texture. They are perfect for outdoor picnics, barbecues, or quick weeknight dinners. Pair with extra BBQ sauce or your favorite hot sauce for added zest.

Tips for Success

  • Press the tofu thoroughly to ensure it absorbs the BBQ sauce well.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables for clean, even strips.
  • Warm the tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing.
  • Customize the coleslaw with additional ingredients like bell peppers or chopped pickles.

Enjoy these vibrant, flavorful vegan wraps at your next barbecue or casual gathering. They’re a crowd-pleaser that combines smoky, crunchy, and creamy textures in every bite!
