Save A vibrant, plant-based twist on popular viral recipes, this re-make swaps traditional cheeses or meats with tofu and other vegan alternatives for a delicious, satisfying meal.
I first tried this recipe after seeing the viral version online. Making it vegan was surprisingly simple using tofu as the protein and a tangy, dairy-free sauce for extra flavor.

Instructions
- Prep and Marinate:
