Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups

May 31, 2022

Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups

Spicy, tangy protein shreds served up in fresh lettuce cups, topped with radish slices, sprouts, and vegan Caesar dressing. My Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups are made with TMRW Foods Spicy Tangy Buffalo protein shreds.

This is such a quick snack to make that’s actually healthy yet so delicious that it tastes naughty! It’s so handy to have some healthy but quick to make vegan protein on hand for those busy days. There are a ton of vegan meats on the market these days. Finding a vegan meat that is healthy, contains real ingredients and is full of protein can be a challenge. TMRW Foods meets these requirements and more!

This new vegan brand is a socially-conscious plant-based meat company proudly cultivated in Vancouver, BC. With a focus on bringing better food to more people, TMRW Foods prides itself on running a business that truly cares about the environment, its employees, and community. 

Nutrition of Spicy Tangy Buffalo Shreds

TMRW Food’s Protein Shreds are a better vegan meat option. Why? First off, they’re made with simple ingredients. Their base is made of pea and rice protein, with oat flour, cayenne, vinegar, sunflower oil and a few more simple ingredients. The shreds are gluten-free and soy-free so they’re great for people with allergies and food intolerances.

Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups

Most exciting of all, TMRW Foods’s shreds are actually packed with protein! One serving has a whopping 11 grams of plant protein to fuel you. There’s zero sugar in the TMRW Foods Spicy Tangy Buffalo protein shreds. This is surprising since the shreds are coated in a lovely Buffalo Sauce, which you would expect to be loaded with sugar. Not so! The sauce is naturally sugar-free and made of aged cayenne peppers and vinegar, water, alt and garlic powder. Amazing!

What about the all-important texture? TMRW’s protein shreds have a lovely tender texture that closely mimics meat. It gets a nice grilled coating when sautéed in a pan. The taste and texture are delicious and would definitely impress even the harshest critics of vegan plant-based meats.

Making Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups

My Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups recipe is made with only a few ingredients:

• Iceberg lettuce leafs (you can use butter lettuce, or any variety with nice big leaves)

• Sliced red radishes (but you can use watermelon radishes if you like, or any other variety in season or on-hand)

• Sprouts (I used local sunflower sprouts, for their mild leafy tasty and large size)

• TMRW Foods Spicy Tangy Buffalo protein shreds

• Vegan Ceasar Dressing

TMRW Foods

I fried up the TMRW Foods Spicy Tangy Buffalo protein shreds without oil in a non-stick pan from frozen. You can thaw the shreds ahead of time to cut down the the time needed in the pan to get unfrozen. Simply toss them in the pan, flipping the shreds a bit until heated throughout.

Add your shreds to washed and dried lettuce leaves. Top with thinly sliced radishes and sprouts or tender greens of your choice. If you can’t find sprouts, they would be lovely with fresh chives or cilantro!

For dipping, I used a store-bought vegan Caesar dressing and also a couple dashes of added hot sauce for extra heat! Serve while the TMRW Foods Spicy Tangy Buffalo protein shreds are nice a hot, and dip your Spicy Buffalo Lettuce Cups in the cool creamy dressing.
