Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 block (14-16 oz) extra-firm tofu, pressed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot Original)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or vegan sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or vegan feta (optional)

Instructions

  1. Press the tofu: Remove tofu from package, drain, wrap in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and place a heavy pan on top for 5-10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  2. Tear the tofu into bite-sized chunks (about 1 to 1.5 inches) using your hands to create rough edges for extra crispiness.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the torn tofu with cornstarch, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Heat until shimmering (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Add the coated tofu in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until all sides are crispy.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Pour buffalo hot sauce over the crispy tofu and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through and slightly sticky.
  7. While tofu cooks, make the ranch sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, ranch seasoning, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  8. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or over a gas flame for 15-20 seconds per side until pliable.
  9. Assemble wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous tablespoon of ranch sauce down the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, crispy buffalo tofu, and crumbled blue cheese (if using). Drizzle with extra ranch.
  10. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, tucking the filling as you go. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy tofu, press well and don’t skip the cornstarch. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Warm tortillas are essential to prevent cracking. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and skip the blue cheese. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps.
