Anyone have a good tofu recipe? I bought some extra firm tofu to make a recipe I found for vegetarian buffalo wing wraps. I cut the tofu up into little cubes and fried until crispy. The wraps were great but I have a lot of crispy tofu cubes left over and wanted to do something else with them.

I want the buffalo wrap recipe, I have been craving buffalo wings for days!

I must put in a little disclaimer first... My sister who lived in Upstate New York for years says these are not like real wings, however, I have never lived east of Denver and think they are yummy. So if you're a purist you might not want to try these.

A friend of mine made this up, so the measures are approximate, just make as much as you want to eat.

Ingredients:
Tofu extra firm
Whole wheat tortillas
lettuce or salad mix
Franks Hot Sauce
Sweet BBQ sauce (such as Sweet Baby Rays)
Blue cheese crumbles
Blue cheese salad dressing (I use Litehouse Original)
Toasted chopped pecans

Directions:
Cut tofu into 1 cm dice and fry until crispy drain on paper towels.

While tofu is frying mix Franks and BBQ in a bowl Start with 2 TB BBQ and 1 TB Franks, Adjust to taste. When tofu is done and drained add to the bowl and mix to coat.

Warm tortillas, top with tofu, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and toasted pecans, add some lettuce and blue cheese dressing. Wrap and enjoy.

I am sure there is a better thread than this...but I am still struggling w/ getting my protein in with out all the extra calories AND not eating cheese with every meal! Duh!
I probably should prepare some tempheh and/or tofu to be able to throw into my salads and such to get my protein. Other thoughts, recommendations. I still worry I am too low on protein somedays! Plus I still need to drop a few pounds.

Thanks
