Ingredients
  

1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and drained

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for a vegan option, substitute with nutritional yeast)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 large flour tortillas or wraps

2 cups mixed greens (such as spinach and arugula)

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup ranch dressing or your preferred sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Slice the pressed tofu into bite-sized nuggets, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and enable easy cleanup.

      Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, thoroughly combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast), garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will create a flavorful coating for the tofu.

        Coat the Tofu Nuggets: In a separate bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the tofu nuggets to lightly coat them. Take each nugget one by one, dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, and press down gently to ensure an even and generous coating sticks to the surface.

          Bake the Nuggets: Arrange the coated tofu nuggets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Assemble the Wraps: While the tofu nuggets are baking, heat the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat or briefly in the microwave until soft and pliable. Once the nuggets are ready, place a generous handful of mixed greens in the center of each tortilla, followed by the baked tofu nuggets, halved cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.

              Wrap It Up: To secure the fillings, fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll from the bottom up, ensuring all ingredients are snugly wrapped inside.

                Serve: Cut each wrap in half for easier handling and serve immediately. For an extra touch, offer additional dipping sauce on the side for those who love an extra burst of flavor.
