I couldn't keep this yummy, light lunch under wraps. The original recipe featured chicken, but I modified it for my vegetarian husband. Now both of us prefer the Thai-style tofu version. -Laureen Pittman, Riverside, California

I substituted tempeh for the tofu and it turned out great! The tempeh added a nice chewy texture to the wraps.
