For the marinade/sauce:
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp red curry paste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

For the burritos:
- 1 16oz package firm or extra firm tofu
- 2 cups cooked rice of your choice
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1/2 cup cilantro, thai basil or both
- 4 large size tortillas or wraps
Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well. Divide into 1/3 to use for the tofu and 2/3 to use as sauce in the burritos.
Heat the oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with parchment. Cut the tofu into 12 squares and place on paper towels to absorb the liquid. Brush them with the 1/3 of the marinade you separated and pour over any that is left. Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flipping over near the end.
Meanwhile cook the rice according to your package instructions.
Cut up all the veggies and mix the shredded carrots and thinly sliced peppers with a bit of the remaining sauce.
When everything is ready, place your wrap or tortilla flat on the counter or a plate and add rice, tofu, lettuce, avocado, peppers, carrots, herbs and drizzle with the sauce. Wrap up and cut in half. Serve with additional sauce for dipping. Yum!
