I need some Vegetarian Recipies, esp. some wraps!?

Question

I could really use some recipies, that use tofu/soy since i'm not getting enough protein. I have been a vegetarian for over a year now, but i've been eating alot of Boca and Morning Star products. I really would like to make a wrap, somthing similar to Applebees Oriental Chicken Wrap, since I used to enjoy that. I don't have any fancy stores around me, to get the hard to find ingredients. All I have is Cub Foods and a Rainbow Fresh. Anyone have some recipies for me?

Also, here are a few vegetarian products labeled high in protein:

And here is the Appleby's Oriental Chicken Recipe, so you can take out the ingredients you don't want, and then substitute pieces of fried firm tofu for the chicken.

Have you got a Target near by? I highly recommend their cheapo $30 dehydrator. You can sometimes spot it on sale for $15.

You want killer wraps, dehydrate some tofu. Skip Boca and Morning star. Way too many chemicals.

Get some Soy Vey teriyaki sauce. Slice up a chunk of firm or extra firm tofu and marinate it in the sauce. Be sure to save some sauce for your wraps. Yum YUMMY.

Marinate for a day. Longer is just fine. Then dehydrate to the texture you like. I go for about a day. It's nice and chewy.

You can use red leaf butter lettuce in a wrap with several chunks of your newly made "soy jerky." Yum Yum!

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
1 tomato (optional)
2 slices fresh mozzerella (optional)

Herb salads can be purchased in a bag at the store, or you can make your own. They consist of mixed baby greens and fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and cilantro.

Pile all ingredients on your tortilla and sprinkle with balsamic vingar and olive oil. Then fold your tortilla into a wrap. Eat this over a plate and use any balsamic vinegar that drips out the bottom as dipping sauce.

Omit the tortilla to turn this simple vegetarian recipe into a delicious salad.

Look on the label of your tortillas before buying to make sure they do not contain any trans fats.

Answer 7

If I were you, I would mix up some black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, minced jalepenos (remove the seeds), lime juice, cilantro (if you can't get it fresh you can usually get it in single-serving frozen cubes) and a dash of hot sauce. I would put that mixture in a wrap with some brown rice (or even better, quinoa). You could dip it in salsa or guacamole if you wanted.
