These tofu wraps are delicious, with quite a ‘meaty’ taste, texture and appearance, and the tofu can be seasoned in loads of different ways. There’s no pressing required, so the whole recipe only takes about 20 minutes!

We made these wraps as a kind of vegan kebab alternative to go with chips from the chippy, but you could add healthier side dishes, or just have a wrap alone as a lighter meal.

If you have leftover tofu strips, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, and are delicious in sandwiches, on salads, with pasta or rice, or as a pizza topping.
