Tofu Scramble Lettuce Wraps (With Beans and Veggies)

These tofu scramble lettuce wraps are made with scrambled tofu, hearty black beans, bell pepper and corn. And, guess what? They take just minutes to prepare! Such a light, fresh and tasty dinner!  

If you’re a fan of lettuce wraps (and of tofu), chances are you’ll love these tofu scramble lettuce wraps!

These lettuce wraps come together quickly and can be garnished to taste. They’re such a satisfying light lunch or dinner (especially in the summer months).

With an easy tofu scramble, black beans, corn and bell pepper, they’re so good!

There’s very little in the ingredient department and the recipe actually yields quite a bit. Talk about easy on the budget, too.

Ingredients for Tofu Scramble Lettuce Wraps

• Tofu (of course)
• Olive oil
• Seasonings
• Chili peppers for a little heat
• Some bell pepper and corn for crunch
• Black beans for added oomph
• Lime juice for a little zest
• And, obviously, lettuce for making the wraps

What Type of Tofu Should I Use?

Use firm or extra firm tofu. It’s not necessary to press any of the moisture out of the tofu. Open up and proceed with the recipe.

And tofu scramble is super easy to prepare! I love to use my food processor. Place cubes of tofu into the food processor and process until you’ve reached your desired texture. Then? Just go ahead with the recipe. Easy, right?

Wait, no food processor?

If you don’t have a food processor, no worries.  You can also place the cubed tofu in a bowl (or directly in the pan) and break up with a potato masher or wooden spoon.

Tips for Making Lettuce Wraps

• I just barely cook the bell peppers when I’m frying the mixture out.  love to have a little texture on them. Use whatever colour you have on hand.
• These lettuce wraps have loads of flavour, but garnish is highly recommended (because I loves me some garnish).  I particularly love pickled red onions and salsa. Avocado is delicious too!
• If you like more (or less) spice, simply adjust the chili to taste. 

Other Ways To Enjoy Scrambled Tofu

Aside from enjoying these tofu wraps as they are, these are delicious options for the scrambled tofu:

• Enjoy with flour or corn tortillas.
• Serve over nachos instead of meat.
• Enjoy with rice, quinoa or couscous for a light lunch (another personal fave of mine!).
• Have for breakfast with an egg.
