This balsamic tofu recipe features a sweet and tangy glaze and can be done within 20 minutes! Perfect in sandwich wraps with hummus and crunchy vegetables, but also can be used over salads and grain bowls to add more healthy plant-based protein to your meals. Loaded with flavors, ultra easy, great for meal-prep and healthy too.
Pat dry the tofu to remove the excess water and slice into sticks.
Warm up a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add the tofu sticks with a pinch of salt (with or without oil). Cook for a few minute (3-5) on each sides or until nicely browned.
While the tofu is cooking, stir together the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
Also prepare all the vegetables by cutting them into a stick shape as well.
When the tofu is done to your liking, turn down the heat to low. Once the pan isn't as hot, then pour the whole balsamic glaze over (careful, if the pan is too hot, it will splatter!). Move the tofu around and flip them in the sauce and keep cooking until it thickens for a few minutes (turn the heat back up if needed). Remove from the heat.
To make the wrap: lay the tortilla on a clean surface and spread some hummus all over its surface. Then, place the vegetables on the bottom half portion of the tortilla and then lay a few balsamic tofu pieces over. Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla over the fillings, and then grab the bottom of the tortilla and roll towards the top to lock in all the filling ingredients tightly. I like to also slice the wrap in half. Enjoy!
