Ingredients
  

  • 250 g firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium eggplant, diced
  • 2 whole grain wraps
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Cracked black pepper optional
  • Mixed greens salad for serving optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • Chef's knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Heat-resistant spatula
  • Serving plate

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the eggplant. Heat the non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced eggplant and sauté for about 8-10 minutes, or until soft and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  2. While the eggplant is cooking, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing tahini and lemon juice in a bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cut the pressed tofu into bite-sized cubes. In the same frying pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed and add tofu cubes. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and slightly crispy.
  4. On a clean surface, lay out the whole grain wraps. Divide the sautéed eggplant and tofu evenly between the two wraps, then lay avocado slices on top. Drizzle with the tahini lemon sauce.
  5. Roll the wraps tightly and slice them in half to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side salad sprinkled with cracked black pepper.
  6. Enjoy your delicious and healthy wrap!

Notes

Feel free to get creative with this wrap! You can substitute the eggplant for zucchini or bell peppers based on your preference.
For a spicier kick, try adding a dash of sriracha to the tahini sauce.
If you have any leftover wraps, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a pan over medium heat until warmed through for the best texture. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
