Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan set over medium-high heat. Add onion and stir often until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add tofu strips or coarsely crumble in soft tofu. Then add red pepper, jalape�o and garlic. Sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir-fry until heated through, from 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in salsa and coriander.
Spoon tofu filling evenly down centre of each warmed tortilla. Top with salsa and any other toppings you like. Wrap tortilla around filling and enjoy.
Warm tortillas: To warm tortillas, wrap in foil and place in a preheated 350�F (180�C) oven until warm. Or stack tortillas on a paper towel in the microwave and warm on high for 30 seconds
