    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Zest and juice lime into a small bowl and set aside.

    2. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and golden, 2–3 minutes.

    3. Crumble the tofu with your fingers into the skillet. Add lime mixture, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. 

    4. Cook, stirring often, until tofu turns golden brown and veggies soften, 8–10 minutes.

    5. Separate the lettuce into leaves. Pile leaves in stacks of two per wrap onto plates. Fill each wrap with tofu, salsa, and cilantro.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet pan with aluminum foil.

    2. Place turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, half of the Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix with your hands until the meatloaf mixture is well combined.

    3. Form the beef mixture into 12 short logs, approximately 3-inches long. Transfer to one half of the baking sheet.

    4. Spread the bell peppers and onion on the unused side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with oil, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, and toss to coat evenly. Arrange them in a single layer.

    5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast, stirring the vegetables midway, until the meatloaves are nearly cooked and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15–20 minutes.

    6. Take the baking sheet out of the oven when the meatloaves are almost done. Lay slices of cheese on top of each meatloaf. Return the sheet to the oven and bake until the meatloaves are fully cooked and the cheese has melted, about 2–3 more minutes.
