Tofu and Tabbouleh Lunch Wraps
The flavors in these Tofu and Tabbouleh Lunch Wraps are inspired by Lebanese cuisine. Which is something I’ve been obsessed with lately!! I wish I had a Lebanese restaurant where I live. Instead, I’ve been cooking with some different ingredients and flavors at home and I made these wraps with leftover tabbouleh and tofu (which I always keep in my fridge!), and topped everything with a delicious tahini & yogurt dressing.
I used homemade oat tortillas – which were super easy to make and literally required 3 ingredients; oats, water, and a pinch of salt.
These were so good that I ate them 3 times the week I made them đ And I’m probably going to make them again this week. Heheh. I hope you get inspired by the recipe and try out these wraps đ
What you’ll need for these tofu and tabbouleh lunch wraps
Breaded tofu – Tofu is my faaaavorite plant-based protein because you can do so much with it!! The marinade and the breading give it such a nice flavor and it makes these wraps super filling. You can also make these wraps with falafels or crispy, oven-roasted chickpeas!
Wraps – I made the easiest homemade oat wraps and I wanted to share the recipe with you! You can also always use tortilla wraps from the store.
Salad leaves – A perfect wrap has to have some greens in it so I used romaine, but feel free to use whatever you have in hand.
Tabbouleh – Tabbouleh is a refreshing mix of finely diced tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, and quinoa (traditionally bulgur but the. I have a Tabbouleh recipe on my blog which you can read here.
Tahini yogurt dressing – Ahhhh this is my favorite dressing ever! I use this in so many different dishes but the garlicky, and tangy dressing gives these wraps a nice balance with its refreshing flavor.
