Veganized BLT


I don't know how you guys feel about tofu..but let me tell you..if it's prepared right it's wayyy good. Tonight I had a tub of tofu and a craving for a blt so this is what I came up with. Kind of my own vegan version of a blt. It was dang good. I still have all the makings for another wrap....I might indulge in that later tonight. This was simple easy to make. And although it isn't necessarily 100% healthy, it's much healthier than the fatty meat and mayo filled original version. Most of the ingredients you probably already have..you just need to invest in some tofu!

Ingredients:
  • Extra-firm tofu (not silken)
  • olive oil
  • tomatoes
  • lettuce
  • avocado
  • tortillas or bread (whatever you prefer)
  • BBQ sauce
  • any other toppings you desire

1) Take the tofu out and cut slices that are about 1/2 inch thick. Set aside a little extra time because you're gonna want to let them sit out for a little bit. Put the slices on a plate and salt both sides. After sitting for about 15 minutes, take a paper towel and try and absorb as much water from them as possible.

2) Heat some olive oil (or other oil) in a frying pan. Make sure it is hot before you put the tofu slices in. Place the tofu slices in and lower the heat a little bit. You'll want to heat each side until they get a little brown and crispy (this may take a few minutes).

3) Once they're finished, take them out and place them on a paper towel to soak up the excess oil. Cut up your toppings. Place them all in a wrap and top with bbq sauce so it has kind of a maple bacon taste. Wrap it up and enjoy!
