Ingredients for this tofu and zucchini wrap
Here are the ingredients you'll need to make this easy, delicious, and healthy wrap:
[*See recipe card for exact quantities.]
- Olive oil. I typically use extra virgin olive oil, but I've also used avocado oil in this recipe.
- Extra firm tofu. Using extra firm, or sprouted tofu is optimal. The tofu will not fall apart when grilled, and will maintain the desired texture.
- Zucchini. Zucchini squash grills up so beautifully in this wrap.
- Avocado. Gotta have some omega-3's to stay healthy!
- Kosher salt. Just a pinch is fine for seasoning, or to your liking.
- Lavash flatbread. This delicious, soft flatbread is loaded with fiber. You can use a tortilla wrap as well.
- Chimichurri. This healthy, herbaceous sauce rounds out the flavors in this wrap. But, feel free to make yours from scratch!
- Parchment paper. Use this to hold your wrap together for easy portability.
Variations and substitutions
This recipe is very adaptable, so make it your own!
- Don't like tofu? No problem! You can use your favorite protein in this wrap, like chicken, steak, or fish.
- Can't find lavash flatbread? No worries! Grab a large tortilla wrap instead. I would recommend these whole grain tortillas to keep it healthy. They're vegan too!
- Make this a lettuce wrap. Here's a great way to make this wrap even healthier! Omit the bread altogether and use your favorite flat lettuce as the wrap. Butter lettuce or romaine is always a good vessel for wraps.
- Instead of chimichurri sauce, try my homemade Cilantro Mint Basil Sauce. It's a punchy, herby sauce that packs incredible flavor, and would pair so well with the tofu and zucchini.

Common FAQ's
Yes, tofu is a protein powerhouse! It's low in fat, and packed with vitamins and nutrients. It's also cholesterol-free and rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Some lavash flatbreads contain flax, are an excellent source of Omega-3's, and contain no cholesterol, which may help protect your heart. Here's a great lavash flatbread to check out!
Storing leftovers
You can make these healthy tofu and zucchini wraps a day in advance and keep them tightly sealed in the refrigerator overnight. I like to use plastic wrap to seal them tightly. Then, just take them out the next day to enjoy!
