Caesar Tofu Lettuce Wraps
These Caesar Tofu Lettuce Wraps are my meat-free take on a viral recipe and I absolutely love how these turned out! It's SO SIMPLE to make and packed with a ton of flavor from the tofu lunch "meat" as well as the croutons, caesar dressing, and pickled red onion!
Servings: 1 wrap
Ingredients
- 3 pieces of iceburg lettuce*
- Handful croutons of choice
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese Violife makes a delicious vegan version!
- ½ cup of tofu lunch “meat”/ protein of choice- chickpeas would be great too!
- 2 tbs Caesar dressing I used Briannas vegetarian dressing but Follow Your Heart also has a delicious vegan one!
- ¼ cup Pickled red onions
Instructions
- Very carefully remove the outer 3 layers of a head of iceberg lettuce. Using a pairing knife, cut the core (the harder white part) off of each piece. Lay the 3 leaves on top of each other to form a lettuce bowl of sorts. Be mindful of which way you're going to roll the wrap so you know to lay the ingredients lengthways with how you'll roll.
- Sprinkle the lettuce with salt and pepper and then drizzle on the dressing.
- Layer on the tofu, croutons, parmesan, and red onions. Drizzle with more dressing as desired.
- Roll the wrap up like you would a burrito, starting at one end and making sure to tuck tightly. Once you get about halfway, fold in the sides and continue to roll up completely. I find this easiest to do on a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to keep it all tight.
- Cut in half and enjoy!
Notes
For the lettuce - I've found that the best pieces are from the outer part of a head of iceberg lettuce. The closer you get to the center, the tough the pieces get and they're much harder to properly roll up into a wrap. Most of the time, I can only get about 203 wraps from each head of lettuce before the pieces get too difficult to wrap.
For the dressing - I used Briannas vegetarian dressing but Follow Your Heart also has a delicious vegan one!
