How to Make Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the crumbled tofu and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until golden brown and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Stir in the 2 cups of corn kernels and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and is absorbed by the tofu and corn.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
  7. Wash and dry 6-8 large romaine lettuce leaves.
  8. Spoon the tofu and corn mixture into the romaine leaves.
  9. Top with thinly sliced avocado.
