  3.  Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the tofu for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crispy. 
  4.  In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. 
  5.  Add the sauce to the skillet and toss the tofu until evenly coated and slightly caramelized. 
  6.  Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice with gochujang to prepare the spicy sauce. 
  7.  Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet. 
  8.  Fill each tortilla with shredded cabbage, crispy tofu, and carrots. 
  9.  Drizzle with the spicy sauce and top with green onions and cilantro.
