Preparation
Chef’s notes
Recipe inspired by Ali of Gimme Some Oven. Baked tofu from a Brussels sprouts dish. Skillet tofu technique adapted from Minimalist Baker.
Make it vegan:
Use agave nectar or maple syrup instead of honey.
Make it gluten-free:
Use certified gluten-free tamari.
Storage suggestions:
These wraps keep well covered in the fridge overnight. Sauce keeps for up to a week.
Change it up:
Substitute pineapple or peach for mango. Use almond butter instead of peanut butter.
Prepare in advance:
The baked tofu, salsa, and peanut sauce can be made ahead for easy assembly.

Available at Whole Foods, health food stores, or well-stocked grocery stores.
