Ingredients
  

1 block firm tofu, pressed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Small tortillas (flour or corn)

Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Optional: your favorite salsa or hot sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tofu: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the pressed tofu cubes with olive oil, soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Gently toss the mixture until each tofu cube is thoroughly coated in the flavorful marinade.

    Bake the Tofu: Spread the marinated tofu cubes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the tofu halfway through to promote even crisping, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: While the tofu is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil to the pan. Once hot, add the sliced red and green bell peppers along with the onion. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Stir in the corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet or directly over an open flame, warm the small tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable and slightly toasted. Keep them covered in a clean kitchen towel to maintain warmth.

          Assemble the Wraps: On each warmed tortilla, layer a generous portion of the sautéed pepper and onion mixture followed by a chunk of crispy tofu. Add a few slices of creamy avocado on top. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice. If desired, add your favorite salsa or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick.

            Roll and Serve: Tightly roll up each tortilla to enclose the filling. Serve the wraps immediately with extra lime wedges and salsa on the side for dipping.
