How To Make Vegan Chicken Caesar Wraps
Made with a creamy vegan Caesar dressing and crispy tofu, this vegan chicken Caesar wrap recipe has become my go-to lunch. It's fast to make and easy to meal prep. Switch it up by using kale or spinach in place of lettuce, or add chickpeas for extra protein!

Ingredients
Vegan "Chicken" Strips
- 1 oz block extra firm tofu drained
- ¼ cup Tahini
- ½ tsp each salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
Caesar Salad Filling
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ½ cup croutons I like to chop these a bit before adding them in
- ¼ cup shredded or grated Parmesan
- ¼ to ½ cup vegan tahini caesar dressing
- 4 large wraps*
Instructions
- Prep Tofu: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Drain 1 16-oz block extra firm tofu. Press (either with a tofu press or by wrapping the tofu in paper towels and setting under a heavy pan) for about 20 minutes. Cut into strips.In a large bowl, stir together ¼ cup tahini and ½ tsp each salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Gently fold in the tofu pieces (it's okay if some of them break!).
- Bake Tofu: Arrange tofu in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping each piece over halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
- Caesar Salad: Meanwhile, stir together 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce, ½ cup croutons, ¼ cup shredded or grated parmesan, and ¼ to ½ cup vegan tahini caesar dressing.
- Assemble: Spoon salad onto your wraps and top with a few pieces of tofu. Fold the sides over then roll into wraps.

Notes
- *We used low-carb tortilla wraps, which tend to hold together better for wrapping!

- Storage: To prevent wraps from getting soggy, store the components separately. I like to keep the tofu separate so I can pop it in the air fryer to re-crisp it before making a wrap with leftovers. The leftovers will be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for 4 days separately or 2 days if they are all mixed together.
