Here’s what you need to make Air Fryer Buffalo Tofu Wraps. Gather these items before you start: - 1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed - 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade) - 4 whole grain wraps or tortillas - 1 cup lettuce, shredded - 1 medium cucumber, sliced - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced - 1/2 cup ranch dressing (vegan if desired) - Olive oil spray - Salt and pepper to taste - Optional: Fresh cilantro for garnish These ingredients combine to make a tasty meal. The firm tofu gives a great texture. Buffalo sauce adds a spicy kick. Whole grain wraps hold everything together well. Fresh veggies like lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes add crunch. The ranch dressing cools the heat. This meal is colorful and fun to eat! First, you need to drain and press the tofu. This step removes extra water. Wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. This helps the tofu soak up flavor later. Once the tofu is pressed, cut it into bite-sized cubes. This size helps the tofu cook evenly. Aim for about 1-inch cubes so they fit perfectly in your wrap. Next, coat the tofu with buffalo sauce. Place the cubes in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over them. Make sure every piece is well coated. Let the tofu marinate for 15 minutes. This adds a punch of flavor. While the tofu marinates, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This step is key for crispy tofu. Once ready, spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil. This keeps the tofu from sticking. Now, place the marinated tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If you have a lot of tofu, cook in batches. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway. This helps them cook evenly. The tofu should be crispy and golden brown when done. While the tofu cooks, prepare your wrap ingredients. Lay out the whole grain wraps on a clean surface. Spread a layer of ranch dressing on each wrap. This adds creaminess and balances the spice. Next, add the shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. These fresh veggies add crunch and color. Once the tofu is cooked, let it cool slightly. Add the crispy buffalo tofu on top of the veggies in each wrap. If you like, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a burst of flavor. Finally, roll the wraps tightly. Tuck in the sides as you go to keep everything inside. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Enjoy your tasty buffalo tofu wraps! Tofu can be tricky, but I have some tips. First, marinate the tofu for at least 15 minutes. This helps it soak up the buffalo sauce. The longer you marinate, the more flavor it gets. Second, cook tofu in batches. If you crowd the air fryer, it steams the tofu. A single layer means crispiness for every piece. Next, let’s talk about dressing. You can choose between vegan ranch or regular ranch. Both add a nice creaminess to the wraps. If you want extra flavor, add fresh cilantro on top. This adds a bright touch to your wraps and makes them look pretty. For the best experience, serve these wraps with extra buffalo sauce on the side. It makes dipping fun! You can also pair them with sweet potato fries or a simple salad. If you have friends over, cut the wraps into smaller pieces. It’s a great way to share. Plus, everyone loves a tasty snack! {{image_2}} You can swap tofu for tempeh or seitan. Tempeh has a nutty taste and a firmer texture. Seitan is great if you want a chewy bite. Both options work well in wraps. If you need gluten-free options, stick with tempeh. It’s protein-rich and has a nice texture. Try adding more veggies to your wraps. Bell peppers, carrots, or spinach add crunch and color. For a spicy kick, you can use different sauces. Sriracha or chipotle sauce adds heat and flavor. Feel free to mix sauces for a unique taste. You can easily turn these wraps into bowls. Just place all your ingredients in a bowl instead of a wrap. This is a fun way to serve them at a party. You can also add sides like sweet potato fries. They pair perfectly with the buffalo tofu. Enjoy the crunch and sweetness of the fries alongside your meal. To store your buffalo tofu wraps, let them cool first. Place them in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh and tasty. You can store wraps in the fridge for about three days. After that, they may lose their flavor and texture. To reheat without losing crispness, use your air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) for about five minutes. This method keeps your tofu crispy. You can also use an oven if you don’t have an air fryer. For storage, I recommend using glass containers. They seal well and help keep food fresh. Plus, they are easy to clean! If you have leftover ingredients, store those separately to maintain freshness. Yes, you can make these wraps ahead of time. Meal prep helps save time. Start by cooking the tofu and prepping the veggies. Store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge. When you are ready to eat, just assemble the wraps. You can also wrap them tightly in foil or plastic. This way, they stay fresh longer. Buffalo sauce can be spicy for some. You can adjust the spice level easily. If you want less heat, use less buffalo sauce. You can also mix it with a bit of ranch dressing. This will cool down the spice while keeping the flavor. Another option is to try a mild buffalo sauce if you prefer. If you want to swap ranch dressing, you have options. You can use hummus for a creamy base. Greek yogurt works well too, adding protein. A simple tahini sauce can also be great. For a vegan choice, try cashew cream or avocado spread. Each option adds a unique flavor to your wrap. You will know the tofu is done when it’s crispy and golden-brown. Check for a firm texture on the outside. It should have a nice crunch when you bite into it. If the tofu looks dry and has a golden hue, it’s ready to eat. Cooking times may vary, so keep an eye on it as it cooks. These buffalo tofu wraps are simple and tasty. You learned about the key ingredients, like tofu and buffalo sauce. I showed you step-by-step how to prepare and cook them to get crispy tofu. Don't forget to play with flavors and try variations, like different dressings or proteins. Store any leftovers right, and they're easy to reheat. You can make these wraps for meal prep or gatherings. Enjoy a delicious meal that's quick and good for you. Make it your way, and have fun!

1 block of firm tofu, drained and pressed

1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

4 whole grain wraps or tortillas

1 cup lettuce, shredded

1 medium cucumber, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup ranch dressing (vegan if desired)

Olive oil spray

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by cutting the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

    Pour the buffalo sauce over the tofu, ensuring every piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes for maximum flavor.

      Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

        Once preheated, spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

          Place the marinated tofu cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).

            Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the tofu is crispy and golden brown.

              While the tofu is cooking, prepare your wrap ingredients by laying out the whole grain wraps on a clean surface.

                Spread a layer of ranch dressing on each wrap, followed by a generous amount of shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

                  Once the tofu is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before adding it to the wraps.

                    Top each wrap with the crispy buffalo tofu and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if using.

                      Roll the wraps tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat wrap.

                        Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating.
