Buffalo Soy Curls Wrap
Buffalo Soy Curls:
2 cups dehydrated soy curls
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup nutritional yeast
½ tsp lemon juice
Hot sauce, to taste (if sensitive to heat, add a small amount, taste and adjust until it’s right for you)
Wrap Ingredients:
4 tortillas
Vegan Ranch Dressing (or store bought vegan ranch dressing), to taste
Shredded carrots
Chopped celery
Cucumber slices
Avocado slices
Chopped scallions
Arugula
**To make a Vegan Buffalo Chicken Salad, see notes above.
1. Add the soy curls to a mixing bowl, and cover with water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
2. Then, drain off the water, and squeeze the excess liquid out of the soy curls. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, add olive oil and garlic over high heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle, turn down to low and sauté for 1 minute to flavor the oil.
4. Spread the soy curls in an even layer across the bottom of the skillet, and then, turn up the heat to medium. Do not stir around. After 2-3 minutes, flip the soy curls. They should be a golden brown on one side. Continue to pan fry until they reach the level of crispiness you prefer. It may need a little more olive oil, as you cook them up.
5. When they are crisped enough, add lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and hot sauce. Stir to combine, taste the buffalo soy curls, and adjust taste (more nutritional yeast, more hot sauce, etc), if needed.
6. Assemble the wrap. Add vegetables, vegan ranch dressing and buffalo soy curls to a tortilla and roll it up into a wrap. Serve with celery sticks and any remaining sauce on the side.

This was delicious and my first time trying soy curls. I thought the addition of nutritional yeast sounded strange but it wasn’t! So GOOD!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Should I worry about how much hot sauce to use or just add it to taste?
Let your taste buds be your guide. If you’re sensitive to heat, start with a small amount, taste and add more until it reaches the right amount for you. I tend to add a generous amount, but every hot sauce is different and every person has a different perception of spiciness.
How does this hold up as a packed lunch?
I have never tried it, but maybe keep the soy curls and ranch dressing separate and add right before you’re going to eat it? If you’re making this as a wrap, it would keep the tortilla from getting soggy. As a salad, it would keep the veggies from possibly getting wilty. If you try it, let us know how it goes.
