- Why didn't the tofu get crispy?
- It probably remained too wet. Press the water out of it thoroughly with kitchen paper before frying, or use firmer tofu.
- How do I roll it so it doesn't fall apart?
- Don't overfill it! Pile the filling in the middle, fold up the bottom, then the two sides tightly. Wrap in baking paper to secure.
Fried tofu & avocado wrap
The secret of the perfect wrap is the play of textures: the soft tortilla, the creamy avocado, the crunchy vegetables and the tofu, crusted outside and soft inside. Tofu is neutral in taste itself, so it acts like a 'sponge': absorbing the spices and marinade. The smoked paprika (pimentón) gives it a depth as if you roasted it over an open fire.

Instructions
1
✓
Wrap the tofu in kitchen paper and press out excess moisture, then cut into cubes.
Tip: Water hinders browning (the Maillard reaction). The drier the tofu surface, the crispier it will be.
2
✓
Toss the tofu with the oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Tip: The oil helps the spices stick to the surface of the tofu and not burn immediately in the pan.
3
✓
Fry the tofu in a hot frying pan for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown crust forms on all sides.
Tip: Be patient, don't move it constantly, let the crust bake on.
4
✓
Prepare the cream: mash the avocado with a fork, mix in the lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Tip: The acidity of the lime (citric acid) prevents oxidation, so the avocado stays nice and green.
5
✓
Warm the tortilla in a dry frying pan for 10-10 seconds per side.
Tip: Under the influence of warming, the starch structure changes, the sheet softens and becomes pliable without breaking.
6
✓
Spread the sheet with avocado, pile on the vegetables and the fried tofu, sprinkle with coriander.
Tip: Layering flavours and textures makes every bite exciting.
7
✓
Roll up tightly, cut in half diagonally, and serve.
Tip: The diagonal cut is not only aesthetic but easier to bite into.
