→ Caesar Dressing

07 - 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

14 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

15 - 2 tbsp roasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds

# Directions:

01 - Lightly mash chickpeas in a bowl, leaving some whole for texture. Add cubed tofu and toss gently to combine.
02 - In a separate small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
03 - Add chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the chickpea and tofu mixture. Pour Caesar dressing over and toss until evenly coated.
04 - Lay wraps flat and divide the filling evenly between them. Sprinkle with roasted seeds and add extra Parmesan if desired.
05 - Fold the bottom edge of each wrap over the filling, then roll tightly. Slice in half if preferred.
06 - Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil for portability.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Packed with plant protein that actually keeps you full, not hungry again in two hours.
  • Takes 25 minutes from hunger to finished wraps on your plate.
  • Tastes like a Caesar salad had a cooler sibling that goes with you anywhere.
02 -
  • Overstuffing is the number one wrap failure, and nobody warns you until it falls apart in your hands. Fill it until you can still close your hand around it.
  • Pressing the tofu actually matters because it drinks up dressing like a sponge, and soggy tofu tastes sad compared to firm tofu.
  • Make the dressing last so it doesn't sit on the lettuce and wilt everything before you even roll it up.
03 -
  • Toast your seeds in a dry pan for two minutes before using them so they taste roasted and fragrant instead of plain.
  • If your wraps crack when rolling, microwave them for 15 seconds to soften them up first.
