Sometimes I hear people complain that tofu is boring and bland, but really, it depends on what you do with it. With a mixture of fresh vegetables and tasty sauce, these Vegan Tofu Lettuce Wraps are packed with flavor.

This is a meal you can have on the table in under half an hour. It works well as a main dish or appetizer and even if you’re not vegan, the flavor will draw you back for more.
