Tofu Lettuce Wraps image

discovered tofu lettuce wraps years ago at PF Changs and boy were they tasty! Most recently for the past two years I've been visiting the True Food Kitchen near me in Virginia and they have the most amazing tofu lettuce wraps. I finally just got around to creating my own and I'm in love. TIP - make sure to use the tofu that comes vacuum sealed like the Wildwood brand or Trader Joes also has this and has new sriracha flavor. This tofu is not in water and is very firm, so easy to chop into small pieces.
