Method
- Drain the tofu well, then wrap in kitchen paper and set aside for 5 mins to absorb the excess liquid. Cut into 1-2cm chunks. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a nonstick frying pan over a high heat. Fry the tofu for 7-8 mins, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tsp oil to the pan, then fry the onion, peppers and carrot over a medium-high heat for 5-6 mins, stirring, until softened. Add the garlic and spice mix; cook for a further 2 mins, then add the kidney beans, lime zest and 100ml water. Return the tofu to the pan, season, then simmer for 5-6 mins until the sauce has thickened. Add a splash of water if it dries out too much.
- Meanwhile, scoop the avocado into a bowl and roughly mash with a fork. Add the lime juice, half the spring onions and coriander and some black pepper; mix well, then set aside.
- Lay the tortilla wraps out on a plate and microwave for 30 secs* to warm through. Divide among plates and top with the tofu mixture, guacamole and the remaining coriander and spring onions to serve.
