Directions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Marinade: whisk all ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Tofu: Blot the tofu gently, and cut into 6 slices lengthwise, then cut each slice into threes, to make 18 strips and then place on the lined baking sheet. Brush all sides liberally with the almond sauce, spooning a little extra over the tops. Bake 25-30 minutes. Save the remaining sauce for the burritos. Rice: follow package instructions, keep warm but set aside. Prep the veggies and herbs: cut and place them on a tray or plate with the peanut sauce. Tortillas: Right before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas to make them soft and pliable. If you have a gas stove, use tongs, place directly on the gas grate, over medium flame, turning often with tongs. Otherwise, place in a single layer in the oven on the rack until soft and pliable. Wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm. Assemble: Spoon some of the warm rice onto the tortilla creating a base, then tofu and veggies and herbs. Add more of the sauce as needed. Roll and cut in half.
