- In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce to low heat. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, press tofu to remove as much liquid as possible. Crumble tofu with hands and add to a large bowl with mustard, soy sauce, 15 mL (1 tbsp.) olive oil, maple syrup and 15 mL (1 tbsp.) Cajun seasoning. Mix and set aside.
- In a large skillet, sauté garlic and onion in 15 mL (1 tbsp.) olive oil for about 1 minute. Add diced zucchini and fry for 3–4 minutes. Add Cajun tofu, corn, tomato paste and pepper. Mix. Continue cooking for 7–8 minutes, stirring every minute.
- Turn off heat and add cooked quinoa to tofu mixture. Set aside.
- Prepare salsa: Combine diced tomato, 15 mL (1 tbsp.) cilantro, 15 mL (1 tbsp.) olive oil, juice of 1 lime, tabasco sauce, 5 mL (1 tsp.) Cajun seasoning and green onion.
- Top each lettuce leaf with tofu quinoa mixture and salsa. Top with cilantro and lime juice.
