Hummus and Roasted Vegetable Wrap
Oh, hummus. Is there anything it can’t do? This wrap is like a warm hug for your insides, I swear.
To whip up this bad boy, start by roasting a medley of your favorite veggies. I’m talking bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant – go wild! Once they’re all caramelized and delicious, let them cool a bit.
Slather a generous layer of hummus on your tortilla (store-bought is fine, no judgment here).
Add your roasted veggies, maybe some fresh spinach for that extra health kick, and roll it up like you’re wrapping a burrito.
Pro tip: If you’re feeling fancy, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It’s chef’s kiss perfection.
I once made this wrap for a picnic date, and let’s just say, it sealed the deal. Who needs flowers when you’ve got hummus, am I right?
Spicy Black Bean and Corn Wrap
Calling all spice lovers! This wrap is about to become your new obsession.
Start with a base of mashed black beans (I like to add some cumin and chili powder for extra oomph).
Throw in some corn kernels, diced tomatoes, and a handful of chopped cilantro.
If you’re feeling brave, add some diced jalapeños. No judgment if you can’t handle the heat – we all have our limits!
Roll it all up in a tortilla, and voila! Lunch is served.
Fun fact: I once ate three of these in one sitting while binge-watching “Stranger Things.” No regrets. Well, maybe a few when my stomach started making otherworldly noises…
Mediterranean Chickpea Wrap
Close your eyes and imagine you’re lounging on a Greek island. Now open them and make this wrap – it’s basically the same thing, right?
Mash up some chickpeas with a fork and mix in diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of dried oregano for that authentic Mediterranean flair.
Spread some store-bought (or homemade if you’re feeling ambitious) vegan tzatziki on your wrap, add the chickpea mixture, and roll it up.
I once made these for a potluck, and they disappeared faster than my willpower around a plate of cookies. True story.
Peanut Butter Banana Wrap
Who says wraps have to be savory? This sweet treat is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or those times when you’re craving something indulgent but don’t want to put on real pants to go to the store.
Spread a generous layer of peanut butter on your tortilla. If you’re allergic to peanuts, almond or cashew butter work great too!
Slice up a banana and arrange it on the peanut butter.
For extra pizzazz, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of agave nectar.
Roll it up and enjoy your guilt-free “dessert” wrap.
Confession time: I may or may not have eaten this for dinner three nights in a row during a particularly stressful work week. Don’t judge me, judge society for making adulting so hard.
Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap
Get ready to spice up your life with this bad boy. It’s like buffalo wings, but without the chicken… or the wings. Stay with me here.
Roast some cauliflower florets tossed in buffalo sauce until they’re crispy and irresistible.
While that’s happening, mix up some vegan ranch dressing. Or use store-bought. Again, no judgment.
Once your cauliflower is done, let it cool slightly (unless you enjoy a burnt tongue, in which case, you do you).
Spread some ranch on your tortilla, add a generous portion of the buffalo cauliflower, and throw in some crisp lettuce for good measure.
Roll it up and prepare for a flavor explosion in your mouth.
Warning: This wrap may cause spontaneous happy dances. I speak from experience.
Avocado and “Egg” Salad Wrap
Remember egg salad sandwiches? This is like that, but better. And, you know, without the eggs.
Mash up a block of firm tofu with a fork. Mix in some vegan mayo, mustard, diced celery, and a sprinkle of black salt (kala namak) for that eggy flavor.
Spread mashed avocado on your tortilla (because avocado makes everything better, fight me).
Add a generous scoop of your “egg” salad mixture, some lettuce or spinach if you’re feeling virtuous, and roll it up.
Fun fact: I once brought this to a non-vegan potluck, and nobody believed it wasn’t real egg salad. Sneaky? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely.
Rainbow Veggie Wrap
This wrap is so colorful, it’s practically begging to be Instagrammed. #EatTheRainbow, anyone?
Start with a base of hummus or vegan cream cheese on your tortilla.
Now, channel your inner artist and arrange stripes of different colored veggies. Think red bell peppers, orange carrots, yellow corn, green cucumber, purple cabbage… you get the idea.
Roll it up carefully (we don’t want a veggie avalanche) and slice it in half to show off that gorgeous cross-section.
Pro tip: This is a great way to use up those random veggies lurking in your crisper drawer. I once made this wrap with the weirdest combination of leftover veggies, and it still turned out amazing. Ugly delicious is still delicious, folks.
Vegan “Tuna” Salad Wrap

Missing tuna salad? Fear not, my friend. This plant-based version will satisfy that craving without any fishy business.
Mash up a can of chickpeas and mix in some finely diced celery, red onion, and pickle relish.
Add vegan mayo, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a sprinkle of seaweed flakes for that oceany flavor.
Spread your mixture on a tortilla, add some crisp lettuce, and roll it up.
I once served this to my pescatarian friend, and she honest-to-goodness thought it was real tuna. Mission accomplished!
