Chopped chickpea patty
Hummus & assembly
Method
Roasted tofu
- 1
press and prep
Drain the tofu, wrap in clean kitchen towels or paper towels, and press under a weighted pan for 15–20 minutes to remove excess water. After pressing, slice tofu into 8–12 rectangular slabs (about 1/2-inch thick).

marinade
Whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Toss tofu slabs gently to coat, then sprinkle cornstarch over tofu and lightly toss again to coat — this helps create a crisp exterior.
- 3
roast
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange tofu on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping once at 12 minutes, until edges are golden and slightly crisp. Remove and keep warm.
Smoked carrot
- 4
prepare carrots
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if not already hot from the tofu. Peel carrots if desired and cut on a diagonal into 1/4–1/2-inch thick slices (or into batons for a more rustic texture).
- 5
season and roast
Toss carrot pieces with olive oil, liquid smoke (or a pinch of smoked paprika plus a splash of water), salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast 18–22 minutes, tossing halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized. If oven space is limited, roast with tofu on a separate sheet or after tofu has finished.
Chopped chickpea patty
- 6
mash and mix
Place drained chickpeas in a bowl and roughly mash with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole chickpeas for texture (about 70% mashed). Add chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, ground cumin, smoked paprika, lemon juice, breadcrumbs or oat flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until combined. If mixture is too wet, add an extra tablespoon of breadcrumbs/oat flour.

form patties
Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into flat patties about the diameter of the tortillas (3–4 inches) and 1/2-inch thick.

Hummus & assembly

assemble wraps
Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread about 1/4 cup hummus down the center. Place one chickpea patty, 2–3 roasted tofu slabs (or equivalent amount broken into strips), and a handful (~1/2 cup) of smoked carrots. Add mixed greens and sliced cucumber. Drizzle a little hot sauce or add a squeeze of lemon if using.
