If you want to make the wraps bigger, you can add some brown rice pad thai noodles. But it tastes great with just the greens, veggies, and tofu. You can also use whatever veggies you have in your fridge that need to get used-carrots, jalapenos, pea pods, peas, green beans, pretty much any raw veggie you like.

Grilled Tofu and Peanut Salad Wrap
Makes 4 small/medium sized wraps or 2 really huge wraps
Salad
3 cups of greens torn into bite sized pieces (I used a little cabbage, a couple of collard leaves, and a couple kale leaves)
1 cup sliced veggies-any color sweet pepper, carrots, broccoli, carrots, pea pods, etc.
2 T sliced scallions, including green parts
2 T fresh herbs-cilantro, basil, or mint ( I had mint and basil on hand)
3-4 T prepared peanut sauce
a handful of sprouts
a handful of sprouts
Tofu
1 15 oz block extra firm organic tofu
3 T peanut sauce
1 T high heat tolerating organic oil
My tofu method
Fold a kitchen towel several times until there is enough towel to cover the bottom and top of a tofu block. Place the towel on a plate, place the tofu on one half of the towel, fold the other half of the towel over the tofu, place a small cutting board on top, and weight it down with a heavy pan or pan filled with water.
Drain the tofu for 4-6 hours or even overnight in the refrigerator.
Slice the tofu into thirds length wise and width wise so you have 9 slices of tofu. Mix the 3 T of peanut sauce and 1 T oil and brush both sides of the tofu slices.
Grill on medium to medium low for about 5 minutes on each side until tofu is slightly browned. Check it during cooking to make sure it doesn't burn-the heat and time really depend on your grill.
Mix together the salad ingredients-the greens, veggies, scallions, herbs, and about 4 T of peanut sauce. Divide the tofu and salad between each of the wraps you are using, top with sprouts, and serve.
