• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 3 T olive oil
• 1/4 c cornstarch

For the Herby Ranch Dressing

How to Make Vegan Snack Wrap

Step 1: Press the Tofu

Press the tofu to remove excess water. This step ensures your tofu becomes crispy when baked.

Step 2: Cut the Tofu

Cut the tofu into 1/4 inch slabs. You should end up with about 10–12 slabs.

Step 3: Prepare Your Coatings

Prepare three mixing bowls:
In one bowl add cornstarch.
In another bowl, mix soy milk and apple cider vinegar.
In a third bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, dried parsley, smoked paprika, and olive oil.

Step 4: Coat the Tofu Slabs

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip each slice of tofu in cornstarch first, then into the wet mixture followed by the panko mixture.

Step 5: Bake the Tofu Fingers

Bake tofu at 425°F for about 30 minutes. Make sure to flip halfway through to ensure even crispiness.

Step 6: Make Your Ranch Dressing

While baking, prepare your ranch dressing by whisking all ingredients together. Chill it in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble your wraps.

Step 7: Assemble the Wraps

Heat each tortilla for about 20 seconds on each side in a skillet. Once heated, remove from heat and layer lettuce, cheese, tomato, ranch dressing, and top with one tofu finger on each tortilla.

Step 8: Fold Your Wraps

Fold up the bottom of each tortilla (the side closest to you) while tucking in the sides so that one end remains open. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Snack Wrap!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not pressing the tofu enough: Skipping this step can lead to soggy tofu. Always press for at least 15 minutes to ensure it’s firm and crispy.
• Using the wrong type of tortilla: Not all tortillas are created equal. Choose grain-free or gluten-free options for a truly vegan and healthy wrap.
• Ignoring the seasoning: Failing to season your tofu and ranch dressing can result in bland wraps. Use spices like smoked paprika and fresh herbs for maximum flavor.
• Overcooking the tofu: Cooking at too high a temperature can burn the outside before the inside is cooked. Stick to 425°F and flip halfway through for even cooking.
