# Cooking steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss tofu strips with cornstarch until evenly coated. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry tofu for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
03 - Place fried tofu in a bowl and toss with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil until thoroughly coated. Spread tofu evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to caramelize.
04 - In a large bowl, mix red cabbage, green cabbage, grated carrot, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, toasted pumpkin seeds, and chopped parsley.
05 - Whisk together vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour over the slaw mixture and toss to coat evenly.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable and warm.
07 - Spread 2 tablespoons of vegan sour cream in the center of each tortilla. Layer holiday slaw, a portion of sweet chili tofu, crushed tortilla chips, and avocado slices if desired. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, tucking in the ends.
08 - Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
09 - Slice wraps in half and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
