Hi friends,
Today, we are wrapping up Meal Prep Month with one final recipe: a colorful and protein-packed veggie tofu sandwich with chipotle mayo.
This tofu sandwich was inspired by my desire to create an alternative that could [almost] rival the convenience of cold cuts. While plant-based “deli slices” are widely available these days, they are usually packed with sodium and preservatives, and that’s just not the kind of thing I want to build a meal around.
After experimenting with marinated and pan-fried tofu slices, I discovered they make a fantastic vegan sandwich filling. They can be meal-prepped on the weekend and stashed in the fridge for easy sandwich assembly throughout the week – just like cold cuts.
This particular sandwich combo has an Italian-ish personality thanks to arugula and roasted red peppers, which add crunch and freshness, along with a tangy contrast. Avocado adds a creamy element (as well as healthy fats and fiber), and the smoky chipotle mayo ties everything together. I can happily eat this for breakfast, lunch, or dinner…
P.S. Wanna bookmark this recipe for later? Save it on Pinterest.
Definitely my kind of sandwich! I use baked tofu in my kids' sandwiches/wraps all the time, so good!
