For years, meat has enjoyed an impressive PR campaign as the only way to get enough protein. This high protein vegan burrito clearly didn’t get the memo. Packed with smoky spiced tofu, sweet corn, and a creamy lime dressing wrapped in the highest highest protein wrap in the market to date (at 20 grams per serve), it’s proof that plant-based meals can be every bit as satisfying as their meaty counterparts. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian or simply trying to eat less animal-products, this is the kind of burrito that might just make you forget beef was ever invited.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cook the tofu and corn: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss tofu with cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and lightly crisp on the edges. Add corn in the final minute to warm through.
2. Prepare the salsa: Combine tomato, red onion, coriander and a squeeze of lime. Season lightly.
3. Make the dressing: Stir together yoghurt, mayonnaise and lime juice until smooth.
4. Warm the wraps: Heat Simson’s Pantry White Premium Wraps until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble: Spoon spiced tofu and corn down the centre of each wrap. Top with fresh salsa and a drizzle of dressing.
6. Grill burrito: Fold tightly and place on a hot grill pan or sandwich press for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly toasted with golden grill marks.
7. Serve: Slice burrito in half and serve warm with lime wedges and extra salsa on the side.
Disclaimer: While the wraps themselves do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, they are manufactured in a facility that also processes milk. As a result, they may contain trace amounts of milk due to potential cross-contact.
