- Crush the tofu with the side of the spoon to break up into smaller pieces, then add the black beans a generous pinch of salt and a little black pepper and warm through. Meanwhile, chop the tomato into 2cm pieces and add to the pan along with the dried chives and coriander, stir through and turn the heat down to low.
- To make the crema, add the cashews, lime zest and juice, coriander, spring onion, water and salt to the blender and blitz until smooth.
- Heat the wraps in a griddle pan until they start to puff a little and visible grill marks can be seen.
- Assemble the wraps by spooning the filling onto one side, top with spring onions and fold the other half of the wrap over the top. Drizzle over the lime-coriander crema, serve up with sliced avocado and enjoy!
