If you love caesar salad you will be obsessed with If you love caesar salad you will be obsessed with this easy vegan wrap. Such a simple and healthy meal! Plus it makes lots of leftovers. Here’s how:

01 Prep your vegan chick’n. I used the chick’n from Daring, it comes frozen and you can cook it immediately. It takes about 5-10 minutes, cook it on both sides until it’s nice and browned or blackened.

02 Prep your chickpea croutons. Drain rinse a can of chickpeas then toss them in a tbsp or 2 of oil, a pinch of sea salt, and about 1 tsp cajun seasoning. Air fry at 400 until crispy - check them at 12 min and go from there.

03 For the salad, I bought shredded iceberg lettuce and tossed it with Trader Joe’s Vegan Dill Dressing. You only need a small amount of dressing!

04 Assemble your wrap! I used spinach tortillas that were on the smaller side, so I only needed a small amount of each ingredient.

05 Grill or pan fry your wrap so that it seals. Alternatively, you can wrap it in foil. Cut down the middle and enjoy with fresh berries :)

—Cajun Chick’n from @daringfoods SO insanely delicious and was ready in 5 minutes. Like I can’t stress how tasty this vegan chick’n is.

—Chickpea pasta @eatbanza Kept it super simple and just stirred in a cube of vegan butter. So yummy and has a good amount of protein.

—Arugula salad. I tossed arugula with a splash of @getgraza olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, salt and pepper. It added suchhh a nice flavor.

Vegan Sticky Sesame Tofu Bites – 30 Minutes or Less!

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sticky Sesame Tofu Bites.

I grew up eating Chinese takeout food ALL the time, and the number one thing I ordered was sticky sesame chicken over rice. I no longer eat chicken, and fortunately sesame chicken can very easily be veganized with tofu! This recipe is incredibly simple, requires minimal ingredients, and you can make in 30 minutes or less.

Tofu = High Protein

I love tofu. It’s incredibly versatile and, in this case, loaded with protein. I use Trader Joe’s High Protein Tofu which contains 70g for an entire block! This recipe can feed up to four people, but I like to split it into two larger portions meaning each serving contains 35g of protein.

On average, women only need 46g of protein per day – this recipe gets you 90% of the way there! The reason Trader Joe’s tofu is so high in protein is because of how compact it is – softer tofu is filled with water and isn’t as dense as a super firm tofu. If you don’t have access to Trader Joe’s, try some of these high protein tofu’s:

Takes Under 30 Minutes to Prepare

The best part of these sticky sesame tofu bites are how quickly you can prepare them. First, you’ll cube the tofu and toss with sesame oil and oat flour. You can bake them in the oven or an air fryer. I prefer an air fryer because it cuts the cooking time in half and it only takes two minute to heat up. If you don’t have an air fryer, I highly recommend investing in one. Here are my top picks from Amazon:

Mini Airfryer amazon

XL Airfryer amazon

Sticky Sesame Sauce
