Just a few more days of Vegan Month of food to go. Then life will hopefully go back to normal. Or so methinks.
Till then, let’s make more delicious and healthy vegan wrap recipes.

Why you will love this healthy Vegan Wrap recipe:

These vegan wraps really pack a punch! Healthy protein-packed black beans get a smoke-over with smoked paprika and liquid smoke.

This vegan wrap recipe is perfect for getting rid of bits and bobs in your veggie drawer. I added some zucchini that was sitting sadly in the refrigerator. Use any other squash, raw or roasted. Some crunchy red bell pepper, baby spinach and a good load of flat-leaf Parsley Chimichurri complete this healthy meatless wrap recipe.

My Vegan Black Bean wraps provide you with the perfect combination of fiber-rich vegetables and plant-based protein to keep you full for hours! Make these babies part of your healthy meal prep routine and pack them for your weekday lunch!

Ingredients for making this Vegan Wrap recipe:

black beans: they are packed with protein, filling, good for your heart AND also good for your budget. One of my favorite sources of plant-based protein!
spinach: one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet! An excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, A and C, manganese, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, folate and much more.
spices: the vegan wrap filling gets a savory flavor boost thanks to a fragrant mix of cumin, chipotle chili powder, and smoked paprika combined with liquid smoke.
vegan cheese: I used shredded vegan cheddar cheese for this recipe but you can use your favorite dairy-free cheese.

Tips and substitutions for this vegan black bean wrap:

For an Indian touch, you can use cilantro mint chutney instead of chimichurri. This will make the vegan wrap a bit spicier than the chimichurri would.
Don’t like spinach? Use arugula instead or pick your favorite leafy green.
Make these vegan wraps gluten-free by using gluten-free almond flour wraps.
To lower the calories, you can skip the tortilla and turn these into collard wraps or iceberg lettuce wraps.
If you don’t have all the individual spices, you could use a pre-made taco seasoning for the black bean filling. Just make sure to check the list of ingredients for unwanted additives.

How to make this healthy vegan wrap recipe – step by step:

1. Make the smoky black beans. In a pan, heat oil, add onions, bell pepper, chili, and garlic. Cook until translucent. Add spices and mix.

2. Add black beans, zucchini, tomato, and salt. Mix and cook for 10 minutes.

3. Blend up the chimichurri using this chimichurri recipe.
4. Warm the tortilla. Spread some chimichurri on top of the tortilla. Top with black beans, then shredded vegan cheddar or other non-dairy cheese of choice.

5. Top with thinly sliced red bell pepper and spinach and more chimichurri.

6. Wrap and serve.

Can this vegan wrap recipe be made in advance?

Yes, you should be able to make these in advance as part of your healthy vegan meal prep. They store well in the fridge though the spinach leaves might wilt a bit. Don’t cut the wraps and cover each whole wrap with plastic wrap or place in a zip-seal bag.
