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!

Soy curls are made from pressed and dehydrated whole soybeans, which gives them a chicken-like texture. They only have one ingredient: soybeans!
This is my 3rd time making this recipe. It is honestly one of the easiest and quickest recipes to put together. The taste is fabulous. Thanks for creating such an amazing recipe!
Yay!! So glad you liked it!
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.
🙂 thank you, ken! i hope you enjoy and be sure to let me know yours and your wife’s preference!
