Easy Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce wraps are super light, versatile and keeps you on track to eating healthier meals.

Discovering new fillings can be basically whatever you have left hanging around in your fridge; paired with a great spice blend to tie all those ingredients together.

We kept the sauces simple with balsamic, honey and olive oil - and then pow'd it with Porcini BBQ Genie! Get creative and play with what's already in your pantry and see what happens.

If you subscribe to our newsletter or follow our social, then you may know that I really don't like meal planning. But THIS I would prep for the week ahead and snack on when feeling peckish.

Easy Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 8 oz extra firm tofu; grated (box grater works perfect)

  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

blank

  • 2 tbsp Porcini BBQ Genie

  • 3 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or minced

blank

  • 1/2 cup or more Feta Cheese

  • 1/2 cup or more Yogurt or Sour Cream

  • Small handful basil leaves, sliced

  • 10 Boston, Iceburg or Romaine Lettuce leaves

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together well.

  2. Set a large pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Wait for it to get nice and hot and add in the shredded tofu and carrots, tossing until distributed and it heats up the tofu and carrots. Let it sizzle for a few moments to let the flavours sink in.

  3. Give your sauce a nice stir and pour it all over, toss to evenly combine.
  4. Salt to taste before finishing it off. If adding feta to your lettuce wrap, remember you'll get some saltiness from that as well.
  5. Open up your lettuce cups and add some yogurt or sour cream first (tastes great without it too!) Pile in your tofu mix and top with feta cheese and sliced basil.

I wasn't sure what to do with this...

I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!

My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!

These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend

I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto

Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Ghost Taco spice blend
Best Taco Blend!

My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.

On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one

What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
