Press the tofu block for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water. Once pressed, cut the tofu into sticks or nugget-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Slowly whisk almond milk into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Dip each tofu piece into the batter, ensuring all sides are coated, then place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain tofu on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Mix vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chili flakes in a small bowl to make the spread.
Chop romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber thinly.
Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave for pliability.
Spread a layer of the mayo mixture on each tortilla.
Evenly distribute lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and the crispy tofu pieces onto each tortilla.
Wrap the tortillas tightly around the fillings and serve immediately.
