Instructions
1. Shredded tofu
- Prepare the tofu seasoning in a small bowl: 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon coriander, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a wide sauté pan. Shred or grate 450 grams (1 pound) firm tofu and add to the pan.
- Stir on medium high heat until it starts to brown. Add 1 teaspoon of the prepared spice mix.
- Reduce the flame to low and stir until the spices are well combined with tofu. Transfer to a bowl.
- Thinly slice 1 large onion and 1½ bell peppers. Mince 4 cloves garlic and 1 jalapeño pepper.
- Wipe the pan with a kitchen towel. Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil.
- Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and jalapeño.
- Add 2 tablespoons tomato paste and the remaining spice mix. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water.
- Stir on low heat until everything comes together and you get a nice aroma of Mexican spices.
- Add 1 cup chopped spinach and stir until wilted.
- Add the spicy shredded tofu back to the pan and stir.
- Finish with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a sprinkling of a handful of cilantro.

4. Wrap
- Warm up the flour tortillas. Spread guacamole lavishly in a thin layer.
- Spread roasted garlic sauce as a second layer (or add dollops of it as a last step).
- Place chopped lettuce and shredded tofu. Top with sliced jalapeños and cilantro.
- Wrap up the tortillas and carefully cut into halves. Serve with more garlic sauce by the side.

Notes
- Flour tortillas: I’ve chosen whole wheat tortillas (my fav), but you can also use the regular ones.
- Tofu: You don’t have to press tofu for this recipe.
- Guacamole: For more flavor, add a teaspoon of lime zest.
- Roasted garlic sauce: This creamy sauce makes all the difference to this wrap recipe. You can buy store-bought sauces if you don’t have the time, but I highly recommend you try this sauce.
- Leftover garlic sauce: This recipe needs only about ½ cup of the sauce. You can refrigerate or freeze the rest and use it for pasta, sandwich, deconstructed burger, or anything that needs sauce!
