Scale
Roasted vegetables:
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Sautéed spinach:
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tsp olive oil
Tofu:
- 1 lb (454 g) firm or extra-firm tofu, well drained and pressed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
Avocado cream:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To assemble:
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Toss the carrots, bell peppers, red onion, garlic, and red cabbage with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30–45 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly charred. Do not crowd the pan — crowding causes steaming.
- Meanwhile, warm 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until just wilted, 1–2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce and rice vinegar.
- Crumble the pressed tofu and blot with a towel to remove any remaining water.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 8–10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add the soy sauce mixture, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to glaze the tofu. Remove from heat.
- Mash the avocado with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Spread avocado cream on each tortilla. Layer on the roasted vegetables, spinach, and glazed tofu. Fold and roll tightly.
- Brush a panini press (or skillet with a second pan to weight it down) with melted coconut oil. Place the wraps seam-side down.
- Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
Notes
Zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms also roast well at the same temperature. Cut everything to a similar size so it roasts evenly.
