BBQ Tofu & Slaw Flatbread Wrap
A loaded flatbread wrap with tangy BBQ tofu, creamy slaw, spicy jalapeños, and plenty of contrasting crunch.

This BBQ tofu and slaw wrap combines sweet and tangy barbecue tofu with cool, creamy coleslaw, all piled into a soft flatbread. It’s a classic flavor combination that works particularly well here, with pickled jalapeños and green onion adding a little extra sharpness to the rich slaw and BBQ sauce. I make mine with my Quick & Easy Barbecue Sauce and Air Fryer Flatbread, but you could likely put together something similar with a suitable store-bought sauce and wraps if they’re available to you. Just keep in mind that the macros will be different, particularly since my flatbread contains a good bit of protein.

There’s a generous amount of slaw in this wrap because that’s how I like it, but it’s easy to adjust the balance. If you want a saucier wrap with the BBQ tofu coming through more strongly, reduce the cabbage. That also brings down the net carbs, as 70g of cabbage contributes about 3g net carbs. As written, the wrap has 26g of protein, but you can increase that by adding more tofu or swapping the extra-firm tofu for a pre-pressed, super-firm high-protein variety. The simple yogurt and mayonnaise slaw dressing can also be adapted with lemon juice, herbs, spices, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, or a suitable ranch dressing if you want to change up the flavors.

And if you’re thinking this sounds like a lot of prep for one sandwich, I don’t disagree! The good news is that most of the work can be batched if you want to make several wraps over a few days. I like the idea of making four portions at once: mix four servings of the slaw dressing, measure four jars or baggies of the flatbread dry ingredients, marinate four portions of tofu in BBQ sauce, and prep four containers of the cabbage mixture. When you want a wrap, you only need to mix and shape the flatbread, bake it alongside a portion of tofu in the air fryer, toss one portion of cabbage with its dressing, and put everything together.

BBQ Tofu & Slaw Flatbread Wrap

Description

Sweet and tangy BBQ tofu meets creamy slaw and spicy jalapeños in a soft flatbread wrap with plenty of contrasting flavor and texture. Reduce the cabbage for a lower-carb, saucier wrap, or increase the BBQ tofu for more protein.

 

Yield: 1 wrap

​Prep Time: 25-35 minutes (depending on the size of your air fryer)

Air Fryer Temperature: 400°F (200°C)

Equipment Required: air fryer or oven

Storage: best eaten right away.

Instructions

  1. If your tofu is not already pressed, you can slice it and leave it to press while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, parsely, and salt and set this dressing mixture aside.
  3. Make the flatbread as per the recipe directions and prepare the tofu. To prepare the tofu, coat it in the BBQ sauce and air fry it for 10-12 minutes at 400°F [200°C], or until the edges are crispy. (Or, bake it in the oven for about 20 minutes.) You may be able to air fry the tofu alongside the flatbread, depending on the size of your air fryer. If doing so, use the temperature for the flatbread and then once the flatbread is removed, increase the temperature to 400°F [200°C] and air fry the tofu for another 2-4 minutes, or until the edges are crispy.
  4. While these air fry, prepare your cabbage, green onion, and jalapenos and place them in a small mixing bowl. Add the dressing mixture and mix well to coat all the veggies.
  5. To construct the wrap, put the tofu on the bottom, drizzle with the additional ½ tablespoon of BBQ sauce, and top with the slaw mixture. Fold into a wrap/taco. The wrap will be quite full.
  6. Enjoy soon after constructing. ✎

Notes

  • I'm trying to keep the dressing recipe simple, but if you'd like it more diverse and flavorful, you could: add a little lemon juice, swap the mayonnaise (and even some of the yogurt) with a ranch dressing if you have a vegan keto-friendly one available to you, or replace the parsely with some ranch dressing mix. You could also add other herbs and spices that you like (e.g. dill, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper), or mix some hot sauce and/or the BBQ sauce mentioned in the "Other Ingredients" into the slaw dressing itself.
  • 1 cup of cabbage is quite a bit and the wrap is quite full. If you want a saucier wrap with the BBQ Tofu flavor coming through more, you could reduce the amount of cabbage. This would also reduce the net carbs. 70g cabbage has 3g net carbs.
  • In North America, the weight of packaged tofu is given as pressed weight. I'm not sure if this is the case worldwide. An 85g-serving of extra-firm tofu unpressed weighs about 105-115g. I typically buy House Foods tofu, which comes in a 4-serving block (340g). If I want to use a single serving, I simply eyeball what a quarter of the block is. For this recipe, it was 2 slices of the block (from the shorter side). Some blocks come in blocks that are around 4.5 servings (397g). Personally, I'd just divide this into 4 servings and call it a day. Using pre-drained super-firm high-protein tofu here would also be a great option. I'd use this if it were more readily available to me. Wildwood has a good one.
  • This wrap is best eaten soon after construction because psyllium husk in the Flatbread gets slimy when wet. If left to sit with wet fillings, you may not enjoy the texture of the bread once you get to eating it. 
  • Macros for this recipes are calculated with American national nutritional data (i.e. NCCDB & USDA entries in Cronometer) for all ingredients apart from the yogurt (Alpro Soy No Sugar), tofu (House Foods), BBQ sauce (my own linked recipe), and Air Fryer Flatbread (my own linked recipe).
  • Macro numbers are rounded. Numbers equal to or greater than 10g are rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 10g, 11g, 12g, etc.) and numbers below 10g are rounded to the nearest 0.5g (0.5g, 1g, 1.5g ... 9g, 9.5g). Any numbers below 0.5g are given as is (e.g. 0.1g, 0.2g, etc.). Calories are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.

What happened?

On July 4th, Weebly (my hosting platform) informed me that it was removing its services in my region and that my website would be unpublished as of September 27th. Fortunately, I had already been working on this new site and could have it finished by then. However, on July 15th, Weebly cancelled my subscription and notified me that my website would be unpublished imminently. I decided the best course of action was to transfer the domain name (www.keto4vegans.com) to my new unfinished site rather than have you encounter an error page and not have access to any of my content. 

Most of the content from my original site is already available here, and I’m working hard to redirect links, revise formatting, and add all the data needed for the new site’s fancy features to function at their full capacity.

Thank you for your patience while I revise content and work through the kinks.
