Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vegan chicken strips
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small Zucchini, sliced
- 50 grams Spinach leaves
- 2 Whole grain tortilla wraps
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 100 grams Cashew nuts
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the cheesy sauce. In a blender, combine the cashew nuts, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken strips and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are heated through and slightly browned.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet with the vegan chicken. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Place the whole grain tortilla wraps on a flat surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheesy sauce over each wrap.
Evenly distribute the spinach leaves over the sauce on each wrap.
Top with the cooked vegan chicken and veggie mixture.
Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll it up tightly.
Slice each wrap into halves and serve immediately. For an extra touch, serve with additional cheesy sauce on the side.
