In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

To assemble the wraps, take a lettuce leaf and top it with a few pieces of the cooked tofu, shredded carrots, sliced red peppers, a sprinkle of crushed peanuts, and a handful of fresh cilantro. Drizzle over some of the sauce and sprinkle chopped green onions on top.
