Ingredients

• 14 ounces extra-firm tofu
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup sliced tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced avocado
• 0.5 cup ranch dressing

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel. Place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the tofu cubes and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove each piece of tofu from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated tofu in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

To assemble the wrap, lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of ranch dressing in the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Layer with 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce, 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes, 1/4 cup sliced avocado, and several pieces of the fried tofu.

Step 9

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom. Slice in half and serve immediately.
