Instructions

1
Prepare your protein. The creator uses pre-cooked crispy tofu, which is then sliced into strips.
2
Lay a large tortilla flat on a cutting board. Make a single cut from the center of the tortilla down to the bottom edge.
3
Imagine the tortilla is divided into four quadrants. On the bottom-left quadrant, add lettuce and pickled red onions.
4
On the top-left quadrant, add tomato slices.
5
On the top-right quadrant, add shredded cheese.
6
On the bottom-right quadrant, arrange the crispy tofu strips and drizzle with your sauce of choice.
7
Starting with the bottom-left quadrant (lettuce), fold it up over the top-left quadrant (tomato).
8
Fold that section over to the right, covering the top-right quadrant (cheese).
9
Finally, fold the entire packet down over the bottom-right quadrant (tofu) to create a triangular pocket.
10
Place the folded wrap onto a preheated panini press or contact grill and toast until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Warm the tortilla before filling and folding to prevent tearing and make it easier to work with.
Pat crispy tofu dry before folding into the tortilla to avoid excess moisture that softens the wrap.
Press the folded wrap gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even heat contact and golden crust on both sides.
Add sauces sparingly (1 tbsp) so the tortilla doesn't become soggy; alternatively, drizzle after grilling.

Substitutions

Crispy tofu → grilled chicken or tempeh (adjusts cooking time and flavor slightly)
BBQ sauce → sriracha mayo, pesto, or hummus (changes flavor profile but maintains structure)
Flour tortilla → whole wheat or spinach tortilla (affects color and slight flavor change)
Pickled red onions → fresh red onion or caramelized onions (reduces tang or adds sweetness)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover grilled wraps in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator; reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side to restore crispness.

Equipment

skillet or griddle

Common Questions

How do you keep the tortilla from tearing when folding?

Warm the tortilla first—either in a dry skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds—to make it pliable before adding fillings and folding.

Can you make this wrap ahead of time?

Assemble it fully but grill just before eating; if made ahead and grilled, it will soften as it cools. Keep assembled wraps (ungrilled) refrigerated for up to 4 hours, then grill to order.

What's the best way to get the tortilla crispy and golden?

Use medium-high heat and grill 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet with a light brush of oil, pressing gently with a spatula. Watch for golden-brown spots rather than burning.
