Method 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.

  3. To make marinade, pour orange juice in a blender jar. Add Thai red curry paste, extra virgin olive oil, honey, rice wine vinegar, peanut butter and salt and blend into a smooth paste.
  4. Arrange the tofu pieces on a lined baking tray. Drizzle some of the marinade over each piece and spread it evenly all over. 
  5. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan, add baked beans and Siracha sauce and mix well. Cook for 1 minute.
  7. Add crushed black peppercorns and mix. Take the pan off the heat.
  8. Place each tortilla on the worktop and apply the baked beans mixture evenly over it. Place some baby spinach leaves, cooked red rice, place a few baked tofu pieces, sprinkle purple  cabbage, mixed capsicum strips, carrot strips, pok choi and sprinkle salt and crushed black peppercorns. Drizzle peanut sauce over it. Fold the sides and tightly roll the tortilla to make a burrito. 
  9. Heat some olive oil in a non-stick grill pan. Place each burrito on it and grill on high heat for a few seconds on each side or till grill marks appear on the surface of the burrito. 
  10. Diagonally halve the burrito and place it on a serving plate. Serve hot with salad.
