Tofu Reubens

Tofu Reubens

This is a low carb take on a Reuben that I thought turned out really well. This was so good I made it again for lunch the next day.

Recipe adapted from Food Network:

Ingredients:

1 lb package of firm tofu (you can use all or save half for air fried tofu)

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1/8 teaspoon mustard powder

whole wheat tortilla per serving

3 slices of swiss cheese per serving

reduced calorie/lowfat Thousand Island or Russian dressing to taste

1 cup sauerkraut rinsed and drained

1/2 cup spinach per serving

Directions:

  1. Drain tofu liquid. Place tofu in a dish towel and wrap. Place a can on top to help squeeze out excess liquid. Let tofu drain/dry for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cut tofu into 1/2 inch slices. Place on a few layers of paper towels and let it drain a little more.
  3. Sprinkle all spice and ground mustard on slices.
  4. Air fry tofu at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes turning halfway through.
  5. Spray a nonstick pan with with olive oil or butter spray and heat on low heat.
  6. Lay tortillas out flat. Spread Thousand Island dressing. Arrange slices of swiss cheese on one half. Spread out spinach. Place a 2-3 slices of tofu. Top with sauerkraut. Fold over.
  7. Cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes per side so cheese will melt.
  8. Serve with a salad. I added extra sauerkraut to my salad and used Thousand Island dressing.
