  • 1/3 cup non-dairy milk (unsweetened, plain)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

  7. In a small bowl, dip each tofu piece into the buffalo sauce and let the excess drip off.
  8. Bake for an additional 5 minutes (or air fry for another 2-3 minutes).
  9. Spread a layer of vegan ranch in the center of each tortilla.
  10. Add romaine, carrots, cheese, avocado, and finally, layer 3 blocks of buffalo tofu.
