Press the firm tofu for about 10 minutes to remove excess moisture and then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir the ingredients until they are well mixed.
Add the tofu cubes to the marinade mixture and toss gently to ensure the tofu is well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
While the tofu is marinating, julienne the red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot for use in the wraps.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tofu is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
To assemble the wraps, spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus onto each whole grain tortilla.
Layer the spinach leaves evenly over the hummus, followed by the cooked tofu cubes, sliced vegetables, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately.
