The freshness and crunch of the Caesar salad, the warmth and crispiness of the grilled wrap… These two are made to love each other!
- Preheat oven to broil. Put the grill at the center of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Using a fine grater, grate the parmesan. Finely chop the capers and garlic.
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, milk, vinegar, 180 ml (¾ cup) of parmesan, capers, and garlic. Reserve 60 ml (¼ cup) of dressing.
- Directly above the baking sheet, tear the tofu into small bite-sized pieces. Pour the reserved dressing over the tofu. Toss to coat well. Pepper generously and add a pinch of salt.
- Sprinkle the remaining parmesan (60 ml / ¼ cup) over the tofu bites. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the lettuce. Place in the bowl with the dressing.
- Add the tofu bites and mix.
- Spread the tortillas out on a clean work surface. Top each tortilla with Caesar salad. Fold both ends over and roll up, pressing firmly.
- Preheat a panini press over high heat (see Chef's Secrets). Place 2 wraps and cook for 45 to 60 seconds, until golden brown.
- Remove from panini press and repeat step 9 with 2 more wraps. Let the panini press heat up to grill the outside of the wraps well without cooking the lettuce. Repeat for the last 2 sandwiches.
- Cut wraps in half and serve.
This recipe is best prepared at the last minute, but will keep for 1 day in the fridge.
Chef secrets:
- If you don't have a panini press, these wraps also pan-fry very well. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook 3 wraps for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking. Repeat with the last 3 wraps, reducing the heat as needed.
- These wraps are perfect for the lunch box or for a picnic. In this case, simply omit steps 9 and 10: the wraps will keep better if they have not been toasted.
