Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and drained

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup non-dairy milk (or regular milk)

4 large whole wheat tortillas (or your preferred wraps)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup sliced red onion

1/2 cup vegan ranch dressing (or regular ranch dressing)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Begin by cutting the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. Use a paper towel to gently pat the cubes dry, ensuring they are not too moist, which will help the breading adhere better.

    Coating the Tofu: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, pour in the non-dairy milk. In a third bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. This setup will create an efficient breading station.

      Breading Process: Take each tofu cube and first dip it into the flour mixture, coating all sides. Next, immerse it in the non-dairy milk, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll the cube in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure an even coverage. Set the breaded tofu on a plate and repeat until all cubes are coated.

        Frying the Tofu: Heat about 1/4 cup of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the breaded tofu cubes in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, typically around 3 to 5 minutes. Once crispy, remove the tofu and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

          Buffalo Sauce Coating: In a large mixing bowl, pour the crispy fried tofu cubes and drizzle the buffalo sauce over them. Toss gently until each piece is thoroughly coated in the spicy sauce.

            Assemble the Wraps: Lightly warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave them for a few seconds until they are pliable. Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous amount of vegan ranch dressing in the center of each one.

              Add Fillings: On top of the ranch dressing, layer in the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and the spicy buffalo tofu, distributing evenly.

                Wrap It Up: Begin by folding in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose the fillings securely. Repeat the process for the remaining wraps.

                  Final Touch: For a polished presentation, slice each wrap diagonally in half. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley to add a pop of color.

                    Serve: Serve the wraps immediately, accompanied by extra buffalo sauce on the side for a delightful dipping experience. Optionally, store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days to enjoy later.
