JAMAICAN JERK TOFU WRAP

Ingredients

• Jamaican Jerk Tofu
• 1 block of tofu – Sliced into 1/2 inch pieces
• Marinade
• 1/4 cup of Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons of maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper (add more if you like it spicier)
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of ground sea salt
• 2 teaspoons of nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons of allspice
• 2 cloves of garlic – minced
• 1 small jalapeno pepper – seeded and minced
• 1 teaspoon of avocado oil to coat the pan for cooking (optional if you have a non-stick pan)
• 2 whole grain tortillas
• 2 cups of baby spinach leaves
• 1 yellow bell pepper – seeded and cut into strips
• 1 small tomato – seeded and finely diced
• 4 to 5 strips of Jamaican jerk tofu
• Sriracha or your favorite condiment (optional)

Instructions

1. Jamaican Jerk Tofu
2. For the tofu:
3. Cut it into thin slices (approximately 1/2 inch thick) and press them between paper towels. Put something heavy on top of the top layer of towels and keep changing the towels as they become soaked with water. Do this for about two hours, then put them in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. This will ensure that the tofu is super dry.
4. For the marinade:
5. In a large shallow bowl, add the marinade ingredients and whisk together until fully combined. Put the tofu in the marinade. Turn the tofu a few times to cover both sides in the marinade. Soak for four hours (turning every hour) so the flavor is absorbed in the tofu.
6. To cook:
7. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and cover with a thin layer of avocado oil. You need the oil or the tofu will stick because of the maple syrup that’s in the marinade. When the pan is hot, place the tofu in the pan and cook for approximately three minutes. It will turn a beautiful caramelized color. Now gently flip to the other side and cook for another three minutes or so.
8. For the Wrap:
9. Put one cup of spinach on a tortilla, then half of the bell pepper strips, half of the diced tomato, and 4 to 5 strips of jerk tofu. Drizzle with sriracha or your favorite condiment if you like. Wrap tightly and cut in half.
10. Enjoy!
