Shredded tofu has been a game changer for me. My non-vegan husband requests this meal on repeat. It’s nice for the times you want a meal that’s light but still filling. Delicious!

Yess shredded tofu is a game-changer! So glad you're enjoying the wraps, Britt 😊

I want to make this recipe but I don’t have the chipotle adobo sauce. Is there any other sauce I can replace it with??? I’m very excited to try it !!!! 🫶

PUL Team - April 10, 2024, 12:16 a.m.

Hi Suzie! We tend to find it in the international food aisle or near other jarred goods in case it helps. You can omit the chipotle adobo sauce if it's not accessible. Alternatively, you can substitute it for a hot sauce of your choosing, such as Tabasco 😃

Thank you so much! I will definitely try that!😋

This one was full of flavor with the perfect amount of crunch from the spinach and cabbage.
Husband gave it a 5 star yummy level and asked how soon will we have it for dinner again. That's a definite repeat for our household.

Sooo yummy! I made this as a super-quick lunch at my lunchbreak when working from home. To speed things up a little, I pressed the tofu for several hours to get rid of the moisture and then I skipped the frying. I didn't have red cabbage at home, so I used shredded carrot instead and it worked perfectly. 😊

Even worth a try if you can't get your hands on the chipotle sauce (I couldn't). It's such a delicious way to sneak more raw veggies into your daily intake. :)

Very good! I think I'll add some more chili next time, either through the BBQ sauce or as jalapeno slices.

Easy and delicious! I was lazy to make the rice and swapped it for avocado like you suggested and it was perfection!

We just did it, it was super great! I didn't add the rice because I ate a lot of carbs on my daily basics. But I can fill that this will add more confortness to the dish

So glad that the tofu wrap was enjoyed with the modification, Romane!

Is there anything I can substitute the chipotle adobo sauce with? Unfortunately I can’t find them where I live 🥺
