- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp fresh dill (minced, or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (minced, or 1 tsp dried)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Slice the tofu into 3-4 inch long pieces, about 1.5-2 inches thick. Aim for around 12-14 strips.

- Bake the tofu for another 5 minutes (or air fry for another 2-3 minutes).
- To assemble the wrap, spread a layer of vegan ranch in the center of a tortilla. Add chopped romaine, carrots, cheese, and sliced avocado.
- Place 3 pieces of buffalo tofu in the center of the wrap.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
