Save A vibrant, plant-based twist on popular viral recipes, swapping traditional cheeses or meats with tofu and other vegan alternatives for a delicious, satisfying meal.
I experimented with this remake after seeing viral versions online and loved how swapping in tofu and plant-based yogurt let the flavors shine while still keeping every bite creamy and satisfying.
Ingredients
- Extra-firm tofu: 400 g, pressed and cubed
- Nutritional yeast: 2 tbsp
- Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free): 3 tbsp

- Lemon juice: 2 tbsp (1 for marinade, 1 for sauce)
- Smoked paprika: 1 tsp
- Red bell pepper: 1, diced
- Zucchini: 1, diced

Instructions
- Prep oven and tray:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Marinate tofu:
- In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Add tofu cubes, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Roast tofu and veggies:
- Arrange tofu and all chopped vegetables on the baking tray. Roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until tofu is golden and vegetables tender.
- Make sauce:
- Mix plant-based yogurt, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Warm wraps:
- Heat wraps or pita breads according to package directions.
- Assembly:
- Fill each wrap or pita with roasted tofu and vegetables. Drizzle with tahini-yogurt sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Save My kids helped assemble their own wraps around the kitchen table, and everyone picked their favorite veggies to pile inside. It‘s now a fun family dinner tradition.
