VEGAN MARINATED TOFU WRAPS W/CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• For the mayo, chop the chilis and put in an airtight container. Add the mayo, sour cream and oregano, mix well, cover and chill overnight or for at least an hour.
• For the tofu, mix the marinade and pour it into a baking dish. Place the tofu in the marinade, cover, and let it set for at least an hour, turning halfway through. For best results, marinate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil and lay the tofu slices on the sheet. Sprinkle additional seasonings on if desired.
• Bake for at least 20 minutes, or until the tofu starts to brown, then flip over and cook until that side is brown as well. Depending on how moist the tofu is, this could be anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
• When the tofu is done, remove from the oven to cool and assemble wraps with a lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomatoes, 6 slices of cucumbers, grated carrots, onions, sprouts, and then top with the tofu and chipotle mayo. Fold up and enjoy!

VEGAN MARINADE (MARINATED TOFU)

Steps:

• Stand the tofu up on end and cut down the middle, making two 1.5" slabs. Do this with both bricks of tofu and drain for at least 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. The longer you press the moisture out, the better the tofu will absorb the marinade.
• When the tofu has most of the water drained out, lay down in a 8x13 baking dish.
• Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a 2 cup (or more) measuring cup. Stir together well and pour over the tofu. Cover and set in the fridge for at least 1 hour, but for best results, marinade overnight, flipping at least once.
• Remove the tofu and press out the marinade with your hands as best you can.
• Here is where you can choose what to do with the tofu. It can be eaten cold, as is, on a sandwich. Baked on a greased cooking sheet at 400F until browned, then eaten as a "cutlet", chopped and tossed into a salad, or eaten as a hot sandwich. Same with frying it in a pan. Frying can give you a nice crust without drying out or firming up as much as when you bake it. Play with the options, food should be fun.

CHIPOTLE MAYO

Steps:

• Remove 2 chiles from tin of chipotles in adobo sauce and finely chop; letting some adobo sauce cling to chiles is recommended.
• In a bowl, whisk together chiles with oregano, mayo and sour cream.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour; this lets flavours blend.
