Ingredients
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup vegan ground meat substitute (e.g., crumbled tofu, tempeh, or plant-based meat)
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the vegan cheese sauce
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in water for at least 2 hours, then drained)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water (or more for desired consistency)
Instructions
Vegan Cheese Sauce
- In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed to reach the desired consistency. Set aside.
Vegan Crunchwrap Supreme
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the vegan ground meat substitute with ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until heated through and well seasoned. Set aside.
- Lay a flour tortilla on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer some vegan cheese sauce, a scoop of cooked vegan ground meat, black beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced black olives, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Fold the edges of the tortilla towards the center, creating a hexagonal shape with the filling enclosed.
- In a separate non-stick skillet or griddle, heat a small amount of cooking spray or oil over medium heat.
- Place the assembled crunchwrap seam side down on the skillet and cook until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Once all crunchwraps are cooked, slice them in half and serve hot.
