# How to Make It:

04 - Combine red cabbage, green cabbage, grated carrot, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, toasted pumpkin seeds, and chopped parsley in a large bowl.
05 - Whisk vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour over slaw mixture and toss evenly to coat.
06 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until flexible for wrapping.
07 - Spread 2 tbsp vegan sour cream in the center of each tortilla. Layer with holiday slaw, sweet chili tofu, crushed tortilla chips, and optional avocado slices. Fold sides and roll tightly, tucking ends inward.
08 - Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
