Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 package plant-based ground meat
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Wrap Assembly
- 4 large vegan-friendly tortillas
- 4 slices vegan cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- ½ cup pickles, sliced
- ¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Cook Plant-Based Meat: Add the plant-based ground meat to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until it browns evenly. Stir in soy sauce, tomato paste, vegan Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to combine the flavors, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lay the vegan-friendly tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of vegan mayonnaise, followed by ketchup and mustard, in the center of each tortilla.
- Add Cheese and Filling: Place one slice of vegan cheddar cheese on top of the sauce spread in each tortilla. Spoon the cooked plant-based meat mixture over the cheese evenly, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickles.
- Wrap and Optional Grill: Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards, then roll them up tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling. For a warm and slightly crispy texture, optionally grill the wraps in a pan or sandwich press for a few minutes until the cheese softens and the tortilla is golden.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can substitute the vegan cheddar with any vegan cheese variety you prefer or omit it for a dairy-free option.
- The wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator but are best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas and confirm that all sauces are gluten-free certified.
- For extra heat, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside the wrap.
- If grilling, use a non-stick pan or sandwich press to avoid sticking and ensure even crisping.
