TIPS FOR VEGAN BUDDHA WRAP
- To keep the wrap from getting soggy, pat the vegetables dry with a paper towel before assembling.
- For easier rolling, warm the tortilla for a few seconds in a pan or microwave to make it more pliable.
- If making ahead, wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper to maintain freshness.
VARIATIONS
- Add shredded carrots or sliced radishes for extra crunch.
- Swap out hummus for guacamole or a tahini spread for a different flavour profile.
- Add chickpeas, tofu, or tempeh to the wrap for added protein.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free tortilla or a large lettuce leaf for the wrap.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Freezer: We don’t recommend freezing this wrap, as the fresh vegetables and hummus may lose their texture when thawed.
