Step 1
To make the tofu marinade, add the soy sauce, tomato paste, maple syrup and paprika to a flat baking dish and mix until smooth. Add the tofu to the baking dish and flip the tofu to make sure all sides have marinade on them. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.**

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C. When the oven is hot, bake the tofu for 20 minutes or until each piece is golden and chewy.
-
Step 3
To make the dressing, add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until smooth. Toss the dressing with the lettuce leaves until combined.
-
Step 4
Assemble the wraps with the baked tofu, lettuce, avocado and tomato. If there is any excess dressing, drizzle on the assembled wraps. Serve immediately.
Hot tip!
* Vegan mayo can be found at major supermarkets or health food stores.
