Curried Tofu Papaya Wraps
- 1/2 cup light coconut milk canned, well mixed before measured
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 1 garlic clove medium, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper see Notes
- 12 ounces extra firm tofu package, drained and cubed, pressed, for best results
- 1 papaya medium, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped, white and green parts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 pinch sea salt optional
- 6 tortillas 9-inch, 23 cm whole grain, or wraps
- 3 cups watercress fresh, or baby salad greens, if unavailable
- Mix together the coconut milk, curry paste, ginger, garlic, turmeric, soy sauce, and cayenne in a mixing bowl until smooth.
- 2. Fold in the tofu, papaya, green onions, and cilantro. Taste and season with sea salt, if desired. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (or overnight, if desired).
- 3. Place one tortilla on a cutting board. Spread 1/2 cup of the tofu mixture down the center of the tortilla in a row. Top with 1/2 cup of the watercress.
- 4. Fold the right side of the tortilla over the center and start to wrap tightly, pressing in as you wrap. Place the wrap on a serving dish seam side down.
- 5. Serve as a whole wrap for an individual meal (cut in half for easier eating), or slice into thin pinwheels for an appetizer.
- Notes: Adjust the spiciness of the wraps by increasing the cayenne pepper. nnStore the curried tofu wraps in plastic wrap or in an airtight container as a perfect lunch to go. nnIf you won't be consuming all of the wraps at one time, reserve the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator and prepare the wraps no more than four hours before serving time to prevent the greens from wilting and the wrap from getting soggy. nnVariation: If papaya is not available, substitute 1 large mango or 2 large peaches.
