Buffalo Tofu Wraps are filled with crispy fried tofu, lettuce, tomato, and ranch or chunky blue cheese dressing! It's the perfect vegetarian lunch!
I have such a love affair with buffalo sauce, it’s not even funny. These buffalo tofu wraps were a no-brainer because I love buffalo sauce over a crispy crunch! Making crispy tofu is easy as well, so this is the perfect combination! If you feel like a salad, I also have a recipe for a Buffalo Tofu Salad!
I may have lost some of y’all at ‘tofu’, but trust me, this is NOT your typical tofu recipe. My husband thought I was feeding him chicken when I made this, because it is SO similar. It’s really all about the texture (like crunchy fried chicken bits), and the sauce, and the way this tofu is prepared makes it really seem like chicken. You just want to fry the tofu (I know, super healthy…but neither is fried chicken!), until it gets good and crispy. After frying it and drenching it in homemade buffalo sauce, there is no way you can’t like tofu. I used fresh lettuce and tomatoes to top the buffalo tofu, and then added homemade blue cheese dressing!
How to make Buffalo Tofu Wraps:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Drain your tofu, then press out the water by placing the block of tofu between 2 clean towels, and then putting a heavy object on top of the top towel to press it down. This will drain all the water out. Leave for at least 20 minutes. Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
- Add cornstarch into a large ziplock bag and add half of the tofu cubes, close, and shake to coat the tofu.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a tall sided stock-pot (or a pot good for frying), over medium heat. Once the oil ripples (about 1-2 minutes), remove the tofu from bag one by one, and drop carefully into the oil. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned, and then flip over in the oil and cook for another 3-4 minutes on that side. Remove tofu from pot, and set on paper towels. Repeat for the remaining cubes.
- Place tofu in a medium bowl, add homemade buffalo sauce and then toss to coat.
- Stack the tortillas one on top of the other and then loosely wrap a damp paper towel around them. Microwave for 20 seconds to heat them up.
- To assemble the wraps:
- place one wrap on a plate, then add ¼th of the blue cheese crumbles or dressing to the center of the wrap, add ¼th of the tofu cubes, a couple pieces of lettuce, and then ¼th of the sliced tomatoes. Then wrap and secure with a toothpick so it doesn't open.
- Repeat for the rest of the wraps.

Thank you! This is the recipe(s) I've been looking for. I'm a vegetarian but I crave "meaty" food only so I can get Buffalo sauce into my mouth.LOL

I hope you like them as much as we do! I pretty much look for any excuse to use buffalo sauce. I love making the tofu (same way in this recipe), and then putting it over a salad for a buffalo tofu salad...so yum!
