Easy meal combinations come from days i fix meals in a hurry. These are super simple wraps made with four-ingredient buffalo cajun soy curls are super delicious. Cajun seasoning with Buffalo sauce is a match you have to try. Use your favorite Cajun blend or make cajun spice.

I use a store-bought vegan buffalo sauce, but you can also make your own.  

This recipe is versatile! You can use other types of vegan protein, like seitan or shredded tofu or other vegan chicken substitutes, if you don’t want to use soy curls.

  • 4 ounces dry soy curls, soaked in 2 cups of warm broth for 15 minutes

To assemble:

Notes

Nutritional information doesn’t include toppings, since the amount you use will vary.
This recipe makes about three wraps. This recipe can be easily doubled to make more wraps. You can also make a burrito by adding a little bit of lime rice on the side and make burritos. 
To make this without soy curls, use shredded tofu. No need to soak, just press and shred the tofu and use.
To make it soy-free, you can use other soy-free vegan chicken substitutes, such as seitan or store-bought vegan chicken substitutes. You don’t need to soak any of these ingredients in the broth, just add them to the skillet with the sauce and cook until the sauce has slightly thickened and use. You can also use cooked chickpeas as a protein substitute.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.
This recipe is naturally nut-free, as long as you use a nut-free vegan ranch.

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • soy curls – Dry soy curls soaked in hot broth is the base for your wrap filling. You can use tofu, other vegan chicken substitutes, seitan, or chickpeas instead. None of these substitutions need to be soaked in broth before using.
  • onions – Adds umami and texture. You can omit, if you want to make this recipe even simpler.
  • oil – To sauté.
  • buffalo sauce – Use bottled, vegan buffalo sauce or make your own with a mix of hot sauce and melted vegan butter
  • cajun seasoning – This adds so much amazing flavor! Use store-bought or make my DIY cajun blend.
  • toppings – Celery, red onion, and cabbage or lettuce bring lots of freshness and crunch to these buffalo cajun wraps! You also want vegan ranch dressing to drizzle on top to contrast the heat with a creamy element. Make sure that your ranch is nut-free, if needed.
  • tortillas – For wrapping. Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version.

Tips

  • Prep the toppings while the soy curls soak to save on total prep time.
  • Don’t skip warming the tortillas. It makes these wraps so much more addictive!

    I am going to give this 5 stars because I know that it will be good. The reason that I say that “I know it will be good,” is because the soy curls that I used were rancid. I had no idea that they can go bad. Lesson learned, I guess. I am wondering if storing them in the freezer would keep that from happening.

    My wife does not like raw onion so we topped them with diced celery, diced raw zucchini, and shredded romaine lettuce. Shredded cabbage and carrots, like a Cole slaw mix without the dressing, would also be good. I am making these again with either fresh soy curls or tofu. I am also wondering if tempeh or tofu skin would work or it not enough of the flavor would be absorbed.
