Ingredients
Cream Cheese
- 3/4 cup vegan cream cheese homemade or store-bought
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped chives optional
- salt and pepper to taste
Vegan Chicken
- 1 and 1/2 cup shredded vegan chicken
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
The Rest
- 3 leaves of lettuce
- 1 avocado sliced
- 3 tbsp fried onions
- 1 tsp chili sauce
- 3 medium flour tortillas
Instructions
Cream Cheese
- Season the cream cheese. Add the vegan cream cheese to a bowl. Stir in the minced garlic and a sprinkle of your favorite fresh herbs. I went with chopped chives, but you can use parsley, cilantro, or scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Vegan Chicken
- Season the chicken. Add the shredded vegan chicken to a bowl and add the soy sauce, maple syrup, oil, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Toss to coat the vegan chicken with the marinade.
- Let it marinate. Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- Bake or air fry. Bake the chicken strips for 7-8 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) preheated oven or air fryer. The chicken should be slightly crispy on the edges while still tender on the inside.
Assemble
- Spread the vegan cream cheese. Lay a wrap on a plate and spread about 1/4 cup of the cream cream cheese on top.
- Top with the remaining ingredients. Arrange a few leaves of lettuce on top of the cream cheese. Top with the avocado slices and a few strips of vegan chicken. Garnish with a drizzle of chili sauce, a sprinkle of crispy fried onions, and your favorite fresh herbs.
- Roll. Finally, roll the wrap tightly. If you plan to enjoy the wraps on the go, wrap them like a burrito to prevent the filling from escaping on the sides.
Notes
- Make it richer. For a richer and more buttery texture, stir two tablespoons of vegan mayo into the cream cheese.
- Let the vegan chicken marinate. The longer you let the vegan chicken marinate, the better it will taste, as it will have more time to absorb all of the flavors of the marinade. While 10 minutes still yields good results, I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 1 hour.
- Wrap it tightly. The tighter you roll the wraps, the better. Not only will it be easier to eat, but it will also prevent the filling from falling out.
